1083 <p><b>Remit for
1084 short-life working group
1085 – New vision for the Quaker presence in Edinburgh</b></p>
1086 <p><b>Background</b></p>
1087 <p>
1088 On 30
1089 August 2008,
1090 Area Meeting considered the history and prospects for the Quaker
1091 Meeting House at 7 Victoria Terrace.</p>
1092 <p>The following minute was made:</p>
1093 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1094 <b>Minute 7: The future of 7 Victoria Terrace</b>
1095 </p>
1096 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1097 Partly in the light of repairs and alterations due to the building over the next few years, we have taken this opportunity to reconsider some of the uses of 7 Victoria Terrace.
1098 </p>
1099 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1100 Don Stubbings and Mike Perks have given us a brief summary of its uses since 1987, and of its main costs and revenues, and we thank them for providing such a good basic introduction to our discussion.
1101 </p>
1102 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1103 We want to discuss this further, and in particular to decide what God wants of us in running 7 Victoria Terrance, both for Quakers, and the wider Scottish and British communities.
1104 </p>
1105 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1106 We ask Nominations Committee to bring forward to October AM names for a Working Group to explore this. We hope the group will speak with the Managers of 7 Victoria Terrance, with Central Edinburgh and all other local meetings in the Area Meeting and with the Trustees, with a view to making recommendations to AM in June 2009.
1107 </p>
1108 <p style="margin-left:27.0pt">
1109 7 Victoria Terrance is home to some of us, and we have heard that all meetings in the Area Meeting benefit from it, thought they may not bear the full burden of running it.
1110 </p>
1111 <p><b>Remit</b></p>
1112 <p>
1113 <i>It
1114 was agreed at Area Meeting on 25 October that</i>
1115 the
1116 <b>purpose</b> of the working group is <b>to enable Area Meeting to
1117 reach a revived vision of the Quaker presence in</b>
1118 <b>Edinburgh</b>,
1119 recognising that it is now over 20 years since we moved to Victoria
1120 Terrace, and that our worshipping and community activities are
1121 greater than in the late 1980s.</p>
1122 <p>
1123 The
1124 working group will:</p>
1125 <ol>
1126 <li>
1127 review the present operation of 7 Victoria Terrace,
1128 including but not restricted to: the uses of the building through
1129 lettings and other activities and the income generated thereby; the
1130 operational, maintenance and capital costs associated with the
1131 building; the demands on people, including our paid staff and our
1132 membership, in operating and maintaining the building at its
1133 present level of activity; <i>its accessibility to
1134 all</i>; the balance between Quaker
1135 and wider community use</li>
1136 <li>
1137 consider options for the future, including but not
1138 restricted to: extending the lettings and community activity;
1139 generating additional funds by more commercial letting; restricting
1140 the building to mainly Quaker use; <i>making it available to
1141 Scotland-wide Quaker use</i>;
1142 selling the building and moving elsewhere</li>
1143 <li>
1144 report to Area Meeting by June 2009 with a proposed
1145 statement of what Quakers wish to achieve through our presence
1146 in Edinburgh and
1147 how our property will contribute to this, <i>to encourage South</i>
1148 <i>East
1149 Scotland</i> <i>Area
1150 Meeting to unite around a clear vision for the
1151 future</i>.</li>
1152 </ol>
1153 <p>
1154 <b>Operation of the group</b></p>
1155 <p>
1156 The
1157 working methods of the group will be in line with the above minute,
1158 <i>ie</i> <b>the group will consult widely within Area Meeting</b>
1159 in reaching their conclusions. This may be through
1160 discussions with individuals or groups as appropriate. In
1161 addition, the group may wish to find out how other Quaker meeting
1162 houses are used and managed in similar settings. It may be
1163 that special meetings are required to discuss issues that bring
1164 forward a variety of differing views (‘Threshing
1165 Meetings’ – see QFP, 12.26).</p>
1166 <p>
1167 The
1168 working group will have a membership of 8, with a convener
1169 appointed by Area Meeting. Nominations Committee are asked to
1170 propose members who come from different local meetings, and have
1171 interests including the arts, children, and the community, as well
1172 as having the necessary skills in finance and strategic
1173 thinking. Membership of will include at least one Elder and
1174 one Overseer.</p>
1175 <p>
1176 It
1177 is envisaged that the commitment will be fairly intensive over the
1178 period Dec 2008-June 2009. Meetings will probably need to be
1179 monthly, and work will be needed between meetings to ensure the
1180 breadth of consultation required by the AM minute.</p>

1187 <b>Working Group on future of 7 Victoria Terrace:</b>
1188 Following the approach set out in the remit agreed by AM on 25
1189 October, we agree to approach the following people to join the
