|
7 Fundraising c'ttee did a leaflet, but was laid down as too narrow in
|
|
|
8 scope -- need us to actively seek out non-individual sources of
|
|
|
9 funding.
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 We are B-listed.
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 HST fussed about having 'safety'/'safe' as a big part of why we're
|
|
|
14 doing this. ACTION CE to ask Ken Jobling why this is here
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 Looking for approx. 90KGBP for windows (Hall and Meeting Room (library
|
|
|
17 has been done)): Make as energy-efficient as possible.
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 Looking for panorama of the view for the inside of the leaflet -- John
|
|
|
20 Fitzgerald was suggested as a possible photographer.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 Emma took us through some possible sources
|
|
|
23 * Historic Scotland have a fund for worship bldgs repair
|
|
|
24 * But it's administered by the Heritage Lottery Fund
|
|
|
25 Where does the money come from?
|
|
|
26 Website says "an application", funds from "one or the other or
|
|
|
27 both"
|
|
|
28 * EG will try to get to the bottom of this: ACTION EG
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 How urgent is this? The whole project has slipped, because we
|
|
|
31 couldn't fund it ourselves when the cost came in at twice what we
|
|
|
32 expected. Might aim to finish by the end of the year.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 If much longer, need to let Trustees and Management C'ttee know, so
|
|
|
35 they can in turn communicate with the builders from whom we have a
|
|
|
36 quote.
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 But some of the windows are already leaking. . .
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 HST asks about aiming higher? Not really our call.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 SH agrees to convene, HST to take and circulate notes.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 EG will look at the _Directory of Quaker and Quaker-related
|
|
|
45 grant-making trusts_ to see whether we can benefit.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 Sawley MH put a leaflet in the Friend. . .
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 Possible steps:
|
|
|
50 * Leaflet for a) The Friend [National Appeal]
|
|
|
51 b) Constituent meetings
|
|
|
52 * Grants and stuff
|
|
|
53 * Constituent meeting fundraising activities?
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 Cost of leaflet in the Friend?
|
|
|
56 ACTION: HST to find out
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 HST suggested that making explicit in the leaflet that we are
|
|
|
59 expecting to raise XXX locally and are asking for the rest nationally
|
|
|
60 would be a good tactic
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 HST concerned that LM clerks need to be actively involved
|
|
|
63 CE doesn't want to give the impression that we're asking for _more_
|
|
|
64 money from LMs themselves as such
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 SH suggested a cover letter in advance of the leaflet letting them
|
|
|
67 know it's going national, asking for help, offering suggestions, etc.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 CE suggested we could add a line for 'additional contribution in light
|
|
|
70 :-) of the window :-) of opportunity to help' for the Schedule letter
|
|
|
71 (aiming for March).
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
73 CE said we need a target for how much we can raise from grants, so we
|
|
|
74 know how much we're looking to raise on a piece-by-piece basis.
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
76 EG has located some other options, e.g. Glaziers Trust, from Funds for
|
|
|
77 Historic Buildings at Historic Scotland: ACTION EG to scan these
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 Should get the leaflet into the FH monthly mailing: ACTION HST to
|
|
|
80 check cost/mechanism
|
|
|
81
|
|
|
82 CE suggested we might circulate to non-Quaker bodies
|
|
|
83 HST wondered about a press release: The Scotsman is hungry for
|
|
|
84 content, every day
|
|
|
85
|
|
|
86 "Still serving the old-town community after 145 years"
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
88 HST thinks JP has a history of the building somewhere: ACTION HST to
|
|
|
89 get this for EG
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 CE reports that the MH Managers suggested we could contact the summer
|
|
|
92 volunteers. . .
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 CE begins to tabulate paras for the FAQ:
|
|
|
95 * History of the bldg., including statutory status: EG
|
|
|
96 * History of Q's [in Edinburgh]: CE
|
|
|
97 * Technical project info: CE
|
|
|
98 * Bldg use today (including EFF): CE
|
|
|
99 * Total cost and breakdown of funding sources in view: CE
|
|
|
100 * How to donate, Gift Aid, etc.: CE
|
|
|
101 * Fundraising suggestions: SH
|
|
|
102 * Fundraising status: HST [0]
|
|
|
103
|
|
|
104 Use Googledocs for this? ACTION HST to check about redlining, and
|
|
|
105 produce trivial instructs. One doc't per bullet
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107 SH asks about growing the group: consensus is, not yet, but co-opt
|
|
|
108 people for specific tasks _ad lib_.
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 ACTION HST to let Trustees know on 11-Jan that progress is progressing
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 Date of next meeting: 7 Feb, same time, same place
