[cma-l] Meeting for UK wide advertising for community radio (and laterpossibly TV...)

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

The initial meeting re advertising will be in London but we do hope that
reps from Scotland (e.g. Charles), Wales and N Ireland may be able to get
there.  Re the possibility of live streaming of the meeting, there are costs
considerations for that, we could stream it live using the Canstream
facilities but there are other costs involved which we currently have no
funding for.

We are happy to attend meetings in other parts of the country as well to get
your views directly.  Please let me know if you are going to have meetings
you would like me to attend to discuss this further.

Best wishes

Jaqui
