<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV> Nick, I adore your passionate defence of community radio and long may you keep shouting. Particularly agree with the idea that because we embody everything to do with the Big Society, that somehow its fine and dandy for us to exist off thin air.</DIV>
<DIV>However, like Shirley's station in Swindon, we have close links with one local FE college and another has expressed interest in hiring our facilities. Both are looking to deliver a Level 3 qualification ( bit like an A level equivalent in old money) , with the teacher's and student's provided by the colleges. All we do is hire out our training studio. Last year I raised almost seventy grand in grants, (including dosh to build a training studio), but this year there's been little on the grant front that hasn't been oversubscribed.. so have instead concentrated on running courses in partnership with schools, colleges, for agencies who want to improve the job prospects of long term unemployed, silver surfer IT courses etc etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are allowed to run adverts... but to be honest the thing we always run up against is the poor reception - so people would rather spend more money at Heart FM because at least they can be heard everywhere.. and I can't say I blame them . We need to boost our power, because as I have said before on this forum.. we are really badly hindered by mad topography round here. It's lovely living in these hills, but rubbish for reception. Approached OFCOM last week about the possibility of maybe having a second frequency to reach one of the harder to get to valleys and was told it's unlikely. Will now be making a concrete case for increasing our power. Wish me luck.</DIV>
