22 <item>Improvements do have cost implications. Could we ask
23 Festival Committee to identify Meeting House improvements as one of the fund
24 raising projects (as we did for Kelso Meeting House &amp; the Foyer upgrade)
25 over say 3 years.</item>
26 <item>The Meeting House is a great space, with flexibility having some larger
27 and smaller areas. The availability for outreach here is so important. A
28 window in the city and affordable lettings for groups that might find
29 alternatives difficult.</item>

31 and consideration is really valuable and appreciated.</item>
