Dear all<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>Best wishes<br>

<div><font face="Calibri">However, Inverness is not ideally situated for those in southern England or Wales, except for air travel, and I suspect that Glasgow is in time terms actually probably the most central. I can make afternoon meetings in Glasgow (eg 2-4pm) on day travel from here, starting out about 6.30am and home by 10pm. I suspect similar timings would apply for those attending a Glasgow meeting from London or even the south-west, even by train (eg Bristol 0730, Euston 0830, Cardiff 0655).</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"> <div><font face="Calibri"></font> </div></font></div> <div><font face="Calibri">I wonder if CMA has ever considered subsidizing transport/accommodation for its smaller member stations to attend events, as RadioCentre does for the smallest commercial stations? It could probably get a training or development grant from somewhere to cover the costs of doing that, without needing members to cross-subsidize each other.</font></div>

<div style="font:10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> Re: [cma-l] Meeting for UK wide advertising for community radio (and laterpossibly TV...)</div> <div><br></div>Nick,<br><br>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><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><br><a href="http://Eddie.commedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/cma-l" target="_blank">Eddie.commedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/cma-l</a></blockquote>
