1 4. Forward planning

4.1 Bid to government update

There had been no update on the status of the MAGA. Bid to government. A short five-minute film had been commissioned to back-up funding bids and presentations.

4.2 Work programme priorities

The work programme could not be finalised until the funding level was known. Thereafter the following work was envisaged:

1. Preparation of an updated strategy document, 2. The MAGA management board would take a strategic view over the partnership work, as agreed at an earlier meeting. The partnership itself would move to a wider remit and extended membership. 3. The CC (Cornwall Council) language plan would be a key piece of work as it would serve as a model for future language plans with other organisations.

There would also be an emphasis on the financial sustainability of the partnership; work would include application for external grants and a more commercial approach to charging out for work completed.

The MAGA office would start to measure and evaluate the results of the projects and workflow in greater detail. This had already started with the statistics gathering for social media and web traffic.

A summary of the statistics gathered were planned for release on the MAGA website. A digest, perhaps 6 monthly, would include reports on completed projects and the compiled statistics. The partnership reports would be based on these digests.

The partnership would take on the advisory role now with the working groups. Task and finish groups would be put in place to assist with specific pieces of work rather than wide-ranging advisory groups.

Work was starting towards a ‘Kernow Mark’ scheme for schools to promote greater focus on Cornish language, culture and history

The proposed target of 100 new learners raised concern.

There were also concerns raised that expanding the

2 partnership might not necessarily draw in more JL people; carefully chosen agenda topics may improve attendance along with the possibility of evening meetings.

There was a suggestion that the MAGA website could host a unique page for each of the partnership members. This would include a short introduction about the group and relevant papers.

5. Reports

5.1 Financial report

The report was noted.

5.2 Management board report

The final SWF review report would go to the management group on Thursday 13 th March 2014 for approval.

A query was raised whether whether a CC member should have a permanent seat on the management board, rather than just observer status.

5.3 Manager’s report

It was reported that Tregedna IV had been well received by the attendees.

It was recognised that the link to democratic services in CC needed to be strengthened so that the Cornish language used in full council meetings was recorded.

Thanks were offered to M Pierce and S Mollard for taking over T Hak’s work with MyCornwall magazine.

5.4 Status

Over 1000 street-signs and around 2000 place-names had been translated by the signage panel.

J Lobb offered her thanks to the change of the Woodleigh Grange development in Truro to Penn an Dre.

7. Any Other Business

Dee Brotherton noted that the St Ives Neighbourhood Plan, with which she had been involved, included points about the use of Cornish.

3 The success of the recent Crowdfunder projects was noted. There was a suggestion that an analysis be made of known crowdfunders from the Radyo an Gernewegva and MSM (Movyans Skolyow Meythrin) projects.

M Pierce requested that all PDFs be separated into their individual documents. It was agreed that the papers should be circulated both in a collated form and as individual papers.
