    In the field part 2 (Pizzas, RAY + JULIE and Euro’96): Community Art 1995-6 Alan Dunn Postscript without conclusion At that De Niro meal in Chicago in 1994, Jon Pounds says something to me that I don’t quite process fully at the time but it lingers. He looks at Bellgrove, Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Sinatra and suggests that I like the idea of public and community art more than I like public and community art in themselves. I think Jon’s comment has to do with context. He has lived and worked in Chicago his whole life, which is very different from the notion of the artist in residence in different cities and working with different communities, which is what these texts are becoming documents of. Do I use community and public art as currency as I use sound art or curating? Very possibly, but at the same time the notion of projects is highly addictive. I see everything through project-glasses and projects are like little plays with organisation, characters, un/planned events, settings, moments of interaction and undercurrents of meaning. Liking the idea of something over the thing itself of course suggests a reluctance to commit, a map rather than the landscape or the concept of love as opposed to being in love. During an EA crit, Roddy B suggests his billboards are conversational whereas mine are more presentational or observational. There is a degree of truth in this, however, and these questions linger. 1995 Liverpool in January.

Clegg Chairman’s Message 2013 A warm welcome to visitors, old and new, as we embark on the 2013 Rugby League season; it seems like last season passed by in the blink of an eye. This season is, again, one of innovation for the Cumberland Rugby League with the advent of the Cumbria Men’s League and the Iggesund Cumberland League becoming the single Cumberland based competition. It has to be said that this is a positive step for the game in Cumbria as a whole. The Cumbria League will provide an intensely contested competition for the higher level clubs and the rejuvenated Cumberland League will mean that clubs get a better quality league with closer games and fewer matches conceded or having ‘blow-out’ scores. This, coupled with the successful transition to summer rugby, augurs well for the long term health of the game in our part of the world. Last season was another part in our learning curve here at Aspatria; a slow start meant that we were chasing the coat tails of our nearest rivals but a change at the helm, with Mike Hazlewood taking over, meant that we made some big strides forward.

  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.
