Bacen

Our initial approach to the Greater Bristol Foundaton who awarded us £1000 from their express fund for further funding for development planning either from the Community Chest and/or the Social Economy Business Development Fund ( http://www.gbf.org.uk/52.asp#) have received a knock back, neither fund manager thinks BristolWireless would fulfill their criteria.

All is not lost – Rhys is preparing a bid to MySociety http://forums.bristolwireless.net/viewtopic.php?t=44 based on the elements of our Mission Staement for which we would require money; an approach is being considered to Awards for All, which is a lottery fund, and we have a meeting planned with Bacen on Friday Dec 12th at 10.00am to discuss how they might be able to help us with "business" planing and securing funding. So far Rich and Sean have expressed an interest in coming, anyone else wants to be present, please get in touch with the Lab
