Tue Sep 6 13:10:05 BST 2011

Top man Eddie 

. you get the gist. Point taken. I don’t have an issue
with London, except the fact that when I go there I always get lost :-(

Regards

Nick

Nick,

To us, Birmingham *is* London, only often more expensive and harder to get
to!! (Far more trains & planes to London from the frozen North than to
Birmingham). It's better - a decade ago, BA would return trip me to London
for a bought well ahead hundred quid or so. Aberdeen to Birmingham used to
be £464. (Not a typo....!!) Overnight sleeper meant Euston then an expensive
peaktime train back to Birmingham or getting off at Crewe at 4am.

Even Edinburgh is a (lousy) 4hour drive or multiple trains. We do however
have it easier than people in the Hebrides etc..... :-) 

You're right though - many London based folk regard Doncaster as The North
despite there being a mile or two of England higher up, let alone Scotland!
People in Shetland regard Aberdeen as "The South"

So forget Birmingham - why not hold one meeting a year (at least) in
Newcastle, Edinburgh, Inverness?

Eddie

At last 

 !            the issue for me is the ability to tap into the
national advertisers. These are the Companies who are all over the Country
and if you go to the local branch (as an individual) we get swot away like a
fly 

.

If we could tap into these guys, and there are plenty of them 

.. each
station may only get a few hundred quid 

. But alas !    a few hundred
quid from a lot of Companies is rather good don’t you think ?

I notice the meeting is in London again 

. Do people down there get a
nose bleed the moment they go past Watford Gap    :-)       for reasons of
fairness, wouldn’t Birmingham be more suitable for everyone 

.. just a
thought that’s all.

I’m just checking if I can make it 

. counting up the pennies etc 

.   How
long does it take to get to London from Macclesfield on a bicycle ?  does
anyone know ?   then again, I suppose it depends on how fast you pedal.

LOL

Regards

Nick

Dear all

We have been working with Donald McTernan since the CMA Conference in June
to take forward his proposals to create a UK wide ads agency for the
community radio sector, and in the longer run possibly to include
community/local television as well.  

We are now at a point where we would like your views on how it could work
for you (licensed stations/internet radio/RSLs).  We would not want to
supplant in any way stations' current advertiser pools but do believe there
is a potential ads market out there for stations that can take on air
advertising and for stations' internet presence as well.

To that end there will be a meeting in London on 7th October - venue to be
confirmed later - for people interested in exploring this with us.  

If you would like to attend please do get in touch with us on
advertising at commedia.org.uk

Best wishes

Jaqui
