<div dir="ltr">To be honest Wrighty, the CMA worked hard to keep this fund going at all. DCMS wanted to get rid of it two years ago when it cut a lot of other funds, but because we (Dom and Bill in particular from the CMA on behalf of all members) lobbied hard, they kept it going albeit at a slightly reduced amount. <div><br></div><div>My question would be 'why so few get funded'? I have heard the funders say that many of the applications are just so far off the mark that they could not fund them even though they would like to!</div><div><br></div><div>Phil</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 2:47 PM, Canalside's The Thread <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:office@thethread.org.uk" target="_blank">office@thethread.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
