On this side of the page are the latest pieces of information

In terms of copying printed works for educational purposes - either multiple copies or making them available via a VLE such as moodle - details of the Adult Education License available to dioceses (or others that like dioceses are not legally "educational establishments" as defined by key 1986 legislation re copyright) is available on the C of E website:  http://www.churchofengland.org/education/adult-education-lay-discipleship-and-shared-ministry/developing-and-supporting/copyright.aspx. There are also some links to other key information educators may need relating to copyright - e.g. the use of different Biblical material / translations.
* Given the copyright complexities and limitations of using film clips in training, the use of YouTube clips is becoming increasingly popular - with some organisations loading clips onto YouTube so that they are then available for use in training / learning contexts.  YouTube make it very clear that material posted must be original and include nothing that is the intellectual property of other copyright holders (e.g. words that are still in copyright or background music). Any material that infringes these guidelines can be removed by YouTube.
I was recently asked if there was any limitation on the ways you can use YouTube clips in training  - and the response I have now received on this from a copyright expert is that showing TouTube clips "will be OK for training purposes provided they are for the purposes of instruction. This used to be limited to educational establishments but was extended in 2003 to education for a non-commercial purpose."

Cabinet Office launches Social Investment Strategy :
The Cabinet Office have launched its ‘Growing the Social Market: A vision and strategy’ document. This is a strategy designed to grow the social investment market giving charities and social enterprises access to new capital. The strategy also explains the role of the Big Society Bank with the government seeing it as a cornerstone of the social investment capital market acting as a catalyst to attract more investment from wealthy individuals, charitable foundations and everyday savers through social ISAs. Click here for link to the strategy.

Deanery Synod - Big Society :
The link to the article Revd Karen Rooms mentioned at the last deanery synod is an article in the latest edition of the Bible Society's 'transmission' magazine which explains the community organising which she spoke about. (article is downloadable as a pdf.) Angus is one of the speakers at the May 19th event Nigel referred to (see clergy mailing). And to complete the trio of references - www.citizensuk.org

Tickets were only £3 each with a 'Buy One Get One Free' Offer and, despite this evening being an outreach event and not a fundraiser, a healthy profit was made with voluntary contributions from the stall holders and participants.  The evening was softly evangelising with a life story and the ‘Why Jesus’ booklet handed out freely to all interested parties. 

If you would like further information concerning the evening, please contact The Revd. Jo Stephens, Curate of St Mary’s Church, Attenborough.

There are two communities in the Nottingham area. The Nottingham South community meets at West Bridgford Methodist Church and the North community at Bestwood Park Church.

Please contact Richard Tanner on 0115 927 2611 or richardjtanner@aol.com for more details or check out our church website www.bestwood-park-church.co.uk .

Energy :
See the attached Times article about British Gas trying to bounce a village hall into a massive increase in their power prices at the renewal date and how just by ringing them up they immediately reduce the price.  The increase wasn't even apparent from their letter. This is the experience one church had with EoN so it isn't just British Gas.
