<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I agree with the recent postings from Michael, Trevor and
Marilyn.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But the CMA Council doesn't agree with us, or else
why would it have produced such a wishy-washy guaranteed-to-be-ignored press
release? That's their right unless a majority of members clearly indicates
otherwise.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(Actually, it's the second time in the past year that as
far as I am concerned the Council has totally wimped out on something and really
let down the membership by throwing away a real opportunity.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Praise where it's due though, to the
moderators for allowing the very constructive debate on to the mailing
lists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm away for the next couple of days (going south to an
SCBN committee meeting in Glasgow, where this may be a topic of
discussion!)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT
face=Arial></FONT><BR></DIV>Dear All,<BR> <BR>The whole point of
<U><STRONG>ONE PER CENT</STRONG></U> (or an equivalent amount) is that it is a
realistic amount. Who can argue with a group that is asking for
<STRONG><U>ONE PER CENT</U></STRONG>? <BR>This '<STRONG><U>one per cent
of the licence fee</U></STRONG>' could capture the imagination of the news
media, and may lead to positive publicity for community media. We have
nothing to lose - but time is running out to make the most of this PR
promotion. Once the election is over, we join every other group who is
asking for money!<BR> <BR>Go for it!<BR>Michael Fryer<BR>07917 694

campaign - but that last press release presents an image that would look good
on the flyer for 'Oliver'.<BR>Sorry chaps. Don't be discouraged, but do lose
the begging bowl approach. We have a lot to offer.<BR>
