Sad indeed, particularly for all those who have given so much time and effort over the years to build it into a great community festival. Whilst being as aggrieved as everyone else that Laing can charge us to use our parks, has FoBM considered applying for a Council Community Grant (in April 2012) aimed at voluntary organisations to cover the costs? No criteria or maximum amount on Hounslow site yet, but it would be worth a try if the criteria is as flexible as it should be. As an arts officer for many years (in other boroughs) I have often advised groups to take this route in order to cover costs that would otherwise prevent them providing valuable services to the community. |
