Hi, simple info re - consultations 'within the sector (or constituency) based the guidelines expected which will be held at: Wed 28 May - Cornerhouse, 70 Oxford Street, Manchester M1 5NH Thur 29 May - The Mary SUmner Room @ The Mothers Union opposite ACE at 14 Great Peter Street, London SW1 Fri 30 May - Watershed Media Centre, 1 Canons Road, Bristol BS1 5TX Tues 3 June - THe Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX and i quote from the new leaflet (you can check off your favorite weasel words as you scan through): A new programme of National Lottery funding will assist in the production and distribution of a wide range of publications and recordings. The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that creative work of high quality is made more readily available to the public. You can apply for lottery support if: - you have experience in producing and distributing publications and recordings - your project is to produce, distribute and sell new work of artistic merit which you could not afford to undertake without a grant - your company or organisation has been operating for a minimum of two years - you can show how the project will benefit the public end of quote - there's lots of verbiage like that hold your nerve, use your wits and go for the money also, for those with the stomach, go to the consultations and speak out put down markers which will necessitate an 'appropriate' advisory peer assessment. This is likely to be the biggest, arguably best, chance to get a lot of projects funded in our broad constituency. One final thought - break the rotten mould, cost in 'appropriate' payment for the writers. I'm serious. cut the slack love and love cris %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
