The meeting will feature short presentations on Ringing 2030 and the financial proposals. It will then be opened to all participants to give their views on these... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/434/funding-target-and-direct-membership Tue, 13 Aug 2024 18:33:18 Z Simon Linford 434@/discussions Two initial thoughts to stimulate some discussion. 1. Does this mark the end of direct membership being seen as the way of increasing the funding of ringing (although that is not the only reason for considering a direct membership organisation) 2. Does an income of £30k or so enable the central... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/449/how-many-elephants-do-we-have-in-the-room Wed, 07 Aug 2024 22:25:13 Z Jason Carter 449@/discussions On one of the threads, this phrase was mentioned. I think the biggest Elephant in the room is that there are precious few people engaging in this conversation. Does anyone actually care? It has also been mentioned that very few people have any awareness of Ringing 2030. If we can't make our current... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/439/is-art-the-answer-to-recruitment-training-retention-expand-art-carefully-from-now-to-deliver Sun, 28 Jul 2024 20:18:57 Z Ken Webb 439@/discussions It is unclear whether the CCCBR has considered thoroughly if expansion of ART in terms of 'local' tutors ( easier coverage for the UK in terms of their travel time & cost) / more ART tutors / more ART admin. resource / expanded range of ART courses etc. is the best way to provide '2030' & build a... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/444/a-job-description- Thu, 25 Jul 2024 12:35:30 Z PeterScott 444@/discussions ... is needed for the "Employed Admin Assistant. Weekly hours of 16 to deal with enquires generated by recruitment hub" who will cost us £15,000 in 2030, which will be 41% of the total Council expenditure of £36,450. It is, concurrently, both dominating and peripheral, and needs more justification... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/441/who-pays-the-pound- Tue, 09 Jul 2024 17:22:28 Z PeterScott 441@/discussions The consultation meeting on 3Jul mentioned a University Society which has a small number of active residential members, who each pay a small annual subscription, and a large number of alumni-members (who are probably active in territorial associations around the country), who don't pay an annual... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/442/8500-carter-ringing-machine-future-spend-why-incl-2026-6000-film-other-costs-2000 Mon, 08 Jul 2024 17:56:56 Z Ken Webb 442@/discussions Why is it proposed to spend £8,000 of the 'limited' CCCBR funds (partially creating the reduction in funds / need for the Levy) on the Carter ringing machine in 2026? Who will have interest in seeing the £6,000 'Carter Ringing Machine Film'? Very few? Is the £6,000 really for a 'Film' of a 100 year... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/436/cccbr-consultation-link Mon, 08 Jul 2024 16:01:50 Z Alan C 436@/discussions A link to the CCCBR Sustainable finance for the future of ringing consultation. Sorry if I missed a pre-existing link somewhere. https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/440/is-2030-misleading-much-too-late-use-2025-or-2026 Mon, 08 Jul 2024 08:14:09 Z Ken Webb 440@/discussions I think use of '2030' infers no need to act until 2030. '2030' implies more than 5 years where nothing needs to change. Better to use '2025' or '2026' to indicate when it started to work? We can't hide the need for action now & during 2025-2029. Ringing is like a capital project - there is need to... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/435/what-new-outputs-will-result-from-the-proposed-increase-in-affiliation-fees Tue, 02 Jul 2024 18:51:36 Z Andrew G Smith 435@/discussions The proposed increases to affiliation fees to 2030 are large in percentage terms, but arguably small per local association member. There is plenty of information on the proposed ‘accelerator’ and some information on what it would finance, e.g. a paid administrator, more marketing etc. so that’s... https://www.ringingforums.org/discussion/433/cashflow-forecast-spend-for-2025-24000-overstated Tue, 02 Jul 2024 07:12:51 Z Ken Webb 433@/discussions a) The new CCCBR cashflow statement provided re increasing the levy paid for Guild etc.members appears to assume the £24,000 cost of running the SW training course in 2025 is funded solely by the CCCBR although the cashflow note (ix) states the whole £24,000 should be self-financing - so should not...
