Manager's Report:
Rob Phillips reported that Trent Radio had received notice that its 15 
January 1994 application for funds to the Community Radio Outreach 
Programme (CROP) had been approved to amount requested, namely $12,600.  
The grant is to provide for $2,600 of portable equipment including a DAT 
recorder, and $10,000 to put towards employment of personnel to to provide 
training and workshops for Trent Radio programmers.  Written confirmation 
of the grant is expected in two weeks and the cheque for the full amount 
should arrive in about five weeks.  The grant is provincially administered 
throught the Ministry of Education and Training and is a contribution in 
the government's year-ending 31 March 1994 budget.  The grant officer is 
Heidi Schafer (sp). 

We are still awaiting a response from John Matthews who has been set the 
task of generating the requisite documents for Trent radio's appication 
for an power increase and frequency.  Both Andrew Cousins and Rob Phillips 
have tried to contact John to no avail. 

The term of the current mortgage expires this September and discussion 
followed regarding whether to renegotiate with the current lender or work 
out a deal somewhere else.  The issue of needing new a guarantor was also 
raised.  It was decided that Rob Phillips and Andrew Cousins would 
approach Jane Wood at the CIBC - Trent Radio's banker. 

The Board thanked Mr. Phillips for his report, and was very pleased to 
hear of the CROP grant.

Andrew Cousins described the computer situation:
Due to the poor condition of the old computer upstairs in the office, a 
new computer was purchased from Peterborough Computers. The new machine 
is: a 486 DX compatible with 4 megs of RAM, 135 meg hard drive and a 
super VGA monitor.  With taxes this came to $2,150.00 but we only paid 
$1,000.00.  The rest was exhanged for spots: 2 a day for six months.  The 
value of the spots works out to $1,800.00. 

This allowed us to fix the old computer which is now working as well. 
Peterborough Computers is happy with the deal and they have indicated that 
if the spots are a success, they may be interested in more in the future.  
Andrew and Rob Phillips have spent some several days restoring the record 
archive data.   The Board thanked Andrew for the report and fully agrees 
the the computer purchase scheme. 

The next regularly scheduled meeting shall be held on Friday 22 April 1994 
at noon. 

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
