+Flat is OK, one small pblm with humidity
+
+What's good:
+
+  SS: enjoyable, transition has gone well, caveats below, a good fit,
+      working well with a good team, Quakers friendly and welcoming,
+      moral and ethics a plus
+  AK: Having a positive impact, started well, more to come, next week
+      new structure starts
+
+Observations: Needs attention: Ken's contract(s)
+      Taking longer to get stuck in to the core aspects of the job:
+      1) Mopping up after the Fringe;
+      2) Staff restructures;
+      3) Planning for next summer;
+      4) End of year financial audit.
+Sometimes a bit frustrated by the hangover of the Fringe, which in
+principle should have been handled before we came on board.
+
+A bit tricky, complex internal stuff, arising from the history of the
+challenge of Majk's situation.
+
+ACTION: HST to start having regular 1630 Friday meetings with
+Managers, biweekly to start, cancel if not required.  Start on 28 Feb.
+
+[Hartley has written off the £500 deposit, paid the IMS bill, and
+ agreed difference between shower and window.  Still waiting on lift
+ voice.]
+
+Less good:
+
+  1) Boundaries between Managers and HST, example: timing of HST's
+     announcement of MS and EG's job changes.  HST should have shown
+     the report to the Managers before it went in/public.
+
+  2) HST screwed up wrt SS's role in Hartley's visit in the subsequent
+     MHMC meeting, acknowledged and apologised for.
+
+  3) More communication, see regular meeting above.
+
+  4) When should Managers email HST vs. MHMC?  When to revert has been
+     handled well, let's try Managers going ahead and reverting
+     directly to MHMC when they think that's appropriate.
+
+     HST to reconsider SESAM vs MHMCC
+
+  5) Short notice of MHMC meetings, maybe only one will attend
+
+  6) Quaker stuff has its own rules, has an interplay with Majk, came
+     to the ceilidh as members of the community, we asked Majk for
+     some guidance as to what to expect.  [Redacted, but upshot was
+     the suggestion that this (and other similar questions)
+     was grounds for persisting the 'acting up' salary uplift through
+     February, see MHMC minutes from 2025-04-01].
+
+  7) Not clear about what the Staff Support Person's role is.
