[cma-l] Community Radio Fund: award of grants for 2015/16 Round 1

[Canalside's The Thread]

Has this amount come down ???                   hang on a mo 
. So we have
£500,000 or we are meant to have 
. We had 100 Stations which then become
200 and then the fund goes DOWN ???      Have I missed something again here
?       LOL   :-)

 

It’s a good job we can keep smiling and see the funny side, we’d go bonkers
without it.

 

You couldn’t write the script could you ?

 

Onwards and Backwards

 

Wrighty
