   <h2>1.  Introduction</h2>
   <p>Hartley Kemp of <a href="http://www.cvenues.com/cvenues/">C
Arts</a> has offered to hire the Meeting House at 7 Victoria Terrace,
Edinburgh, for use as an Edinburgh Festival Fringe venue from
2024-07-21&#x2013;2024-08-31 (seven weeks).  He has provided both a draft
contract and supporting information including a draft budget and a number of
emails with details of his dealings with the other venues he uses and the
performers he features in them.</p>
   <p>He has asked for a decision from us as a matter of urgency.  This
document sets out our offer as a basis for an agreement in principle to go
ahead.  We aim to agree a version of these terms by 8 March, with an actual
contract to follow as soon as possible thereafter.</p>

Safety approval for their seating plans.</p>

   <p>CA to bear responsibility for security at all times other than that.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h2>4.  Mutual agreement</h2>
   <p>Although this agreement is for 2024 only, both parties will be open to
continue this arrangement thereafter if they are both happy with the way things go this year.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h2>5.  Oversight</h2>
   <p>Given CA's stated aims, we do not anticipate any issues about the
companies who will use the venue or the material they will present, but CA
agree to give timely information about the companies and their material to us
for review, and to accede to reasonable requests for changes.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h2>6.  Cafe</h2>
   <p>We plan to have a pop-up cafe in operation, provided by the proprietors
of the Hideout Cafe up the road from the Meeting House, in the West half of the
Foyer and possibly the Bow Room.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h2>7.  Profit-sharing</h2>
   <p>We are bearing some of the risk, we would like some of the profits, if
any.  We'd like to have a small share of CA's gross income.  As CA typically
operate on a guarantee + split basis with their shows, exactly how to formulate
this will depend on the details of this year's agreements between CA and the shows </p>
   <p>Basically we're looking for something in the
neighbourhood of &#xa3;2,000 if CA
hit the &#xa3;20,000 'profit' they are aiming for.</p>
