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.<br>
<br>
Even Edinburgh is a (lousy) 4hour drive or multiple trains. We do
however have it easier than people in the Hebrides etc.....<span
class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
<br>
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"<br>
<br>
So forget Birmingham - why not hold one meeting a year (at least) in
Newcastle, Edinburgh, Inverness?<br>

style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear all<br>
<br>
We have been working with Donald McTernan since the
CMA Conference in June to
take forward his proposals to create a <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
wide ads agency for the
community radio sector, and in the longer run
possibly to include
community/local television as well. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
To that end there will be a meeting in <st1:city
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:city>
on 7th October - venue to be confirmed later - for
people interested in
exploring this with us. <br>
<br>
If you would like to attend please do get in touch
with us on <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Best wishes<br>
