Our County February 2021 Twelve months ago the country saw its biggest volunteer recruitment drive since World War 2. The focus, rightly, was on supporting the people in our country through the pandemic. Girlguiding Greater Manchester West has played an important role in supporting the mental health of girls and providing a bit of normality in a world that otherwise seemed chaotic. Our thanks go to you all. We have seen a decline in the number of volunteers and girls. Some have taken time to reflect, others found their lives too busy. As we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's now time to consolidate, to re-establish ourselves and to start to grow again. We can’t do this without you. Please support as much of our recruitment drive as possible. If you’re on social media, shout about Girlguiding, get your friends to shout too. If you’re not, phone the local radio stations, wear your uniform with pride and talk to as many people as possible. Let them know that Girlguiding is for all girls, that we give them a voice, and that Girlguiding changes as the lives of girls change. We thank you for being part of the future of Girlguiding Greater Manchester West.

We made dens, sock snowmen, edible snowmen and s'mores. Had fun on zoom and a virtual pantomime. Thanks to everyone who joined us and sent us loads of pictures. You can see more on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Height District Guides Christmas Fundraiser Normally, Height District Guides hold a Christmas fair to raise money for a local charity. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible this year but the Guides were still keen to help out some charities. They decided they wanted to make and sell some Christmas decorations and Christmas face masks and they also chose to split the money raised between Wood Street Mission and Animals in Distress. Each Guide received a pack of materials and we spent time in our Zoom meetings learning how to make each item. The Guides then finished them at home and used their business sheet to track sales and raised over £140 for their chosen charities. We're super proud of how well they did. Everyone said they had lots of fun making the crafts and that making them was harder than selling them! Grandparents were big supporters, buying lots of the crafts but taking orders from friends at school was also a big winner. Asking the Guides how they felt to have raised so much money despite all the challenges they said "I feel very happy that we raised over £100 to help different families and animals." Alison, Leader A Golden Start to the Year It's been a golden start to the year for 1st Swinton Brownies with 6 girls presented with their Brownie Gold Award. What a fantastic way to start 2021. Amelia, Kate, Ciara, Evie, Libby and Amelia celebrated their achievement with a presentation over Zoom. The girls eagerly opened their golden envelope to reveal their certificate and badge. Kate's mum Mary said, "the girls could not have done it without the ongoing support of Brown Owl, Elaine Walker and Snowy Owl, Tanja Jones." District commissioner Debbie Craven who was also at the presentation said: "What a fantastic achievement for everyone, I am really proud of Elaine, Tanja and the Brownies." Georgia from 6th Stretford Brownies had great success with the ‘Act Your Age’ challenge, in partnership with Children in Need. Georgia pledged to do 8 front flips and 8 cartwheels. She raised £360 and earnt herself two badges.

    Global Radio Holdings Limited of Juice Holdco Limited

    Anticipated acquisition by Global Radio Holdings Limited of Juice Holdco Limited Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. The CMA’s decision on reference under section 33(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 given on 5 October 2015. Full text of the decision published on 22 October 2015. ME/6546/15 SUMMARY 1. Global Radio Holdings Limited (Global) has agreed to acquire Juice Holdco Limited (Juice) (the Merger). Global and Juice are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considers that the Parties will cease to be distinct as a result of the Merger, that the share of supply test is met and that accordingly arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 3. The Parties overlap in the supply of commercial radio services, a two-sided market in which radio stations compete both for advertisers and consumers (in this case, radio listeners). In this case, the CMA has focussed on the effect of this Merger on the advertisers’ side of the market as the CMA considers that the interests of listeners are largely protected through Ofcom’s licencing requirements and the presence of the BBC. In terms of geographic scope, the CMA assessed the effect of the Merger in those areas where the Parties currently operate (ie the Total Survey Area (TSA))1 and where there is some overlap either at a regional or local level.

    Global-GMG Merger Inquiry: Appendices and Glossary

    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry 1. On 11 October 2012, the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger, the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Global Radio Holdings Limited have ceased to be distinct from enterprises previously carried on by or under the control of GMG Radio Holdings Limited; and (ii) as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of commercial radio based on listening hours in the UK and the supply of radio advertising services in London, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, Central Scotland, South Wales and North Wales; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of non-contracted radio advertising services in North Wales, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Cardiff. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 27 March 2013, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods and services.

    Global Radio / Real and Smooth Limited REGIONAL ANALYSIS For

    SLAUGHTER AND MAY Global Radio / Real and Smooth Limited REGIONAL ANALYSIS For each of the 7 SLC regions identified by the CC, Global has assessed the scale of the SLC and the customer benefits which will be lost through a divestment of any of the parties’ core stations (i.e. Smooth, Real, Capital and Heart). Global has quantified both the maximum likely scale of the SLC in each region and the customer benefit likely to be lost through divestment of core stations (to the extent this can be quantified). As a result of this analysis, Global has evidenced that any divestment of a core station would not be proportionate or reasonably justified in any of the 7 SLC areas. We comment on each of the 7 SLC areas in turn. Error! Unknown document property name. 2 1. EAST MIDLANDS Executive Summary 1.1 The scale of the SLC in the East Midlands is trivial. Based on the CC’s Provisional Findings, the revenues affected by the merger in the East Midlands are £[]. 1.2 While not accepting that any SLC found by the CC would lead to an increase in price, Global considers that any such increase would be small (not greater than 5%) given that the parties are not close competitors in the East Midlands and that Orion is a much closer competitor to both Capital and Smooth than they are to each other. A 5% price increase on the affected revenues in the East Midlands would imply the harm from the SLC is £[]. 1.3 Any harm from the SLC is substantially outweighed by the advertiser discounts that will be lost as a result of the divestment of Smooth East Midlands (£[]) which comprise: (i) Lost network discounts of £[]for contracted advertisers; and (ii) Lost single-region multi-brand discounts of £[] for non-contracted advertisers.
