3 Caroline Evens, Emma Griffiths, Susie Harding, Henry S. Thompson
4
5 If expand, look outside Central Edinburgh
6
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
