+HST circulated a paper with some thoughts from PL
+AB reminded us that we must bear in mind that all the input we've had is from +individual perspectives, on a very complex multi-faceted problem, and it is not +surprising that the perspectives are not entirely consistent with one another. +Furthermore, those inconsistencies need not be 'blamed' on individuals.
+We were left uncertain just what it would mean if we were, or were not, a "Quaker +Centre". Not all QCs are residential, if we understand KJ's contributions last time. +We are by far the largest Quaker premises in Scotland. 7VT is evidently not just a +place which is primarily used for Meeting for Worship, and committee meetings.
+The question of why we don't have outside signage arose. When the terrace +re-opens through to G-IV bridge, we should certainly try to get something put there +again, with less uncertain orientation than the previous one.
+How far can we go with sitting lightly to the full force of the health and +safety, fire, food hygiene advice and/or regulations? AB has suggested to the Clerk of +AM that we need a threshing meeting at AM level to air all the issues around the +regulations. We believe that Trustees have asked John Phillips to write a report on +this. Our testimony to truth and integrity can be a burden as well as a blessing.
+Does the cooking regulation watershed apply only if food is sold, as +opposed to being made available to the group which also does the cooking? Is Fabric +and Maintenance likely to know the answer? Tom Nisbet? Ken Jobling?
+Brainstorming
+Central Edinburgh LM has come to be very dependent on an attractive (that is, +including hot soup) lunch -- what impact on that would the reduced kitchen option(s) make?
+Again, does our particular situation mean that health and safety regulations +apply fully or not when we have a youth group?
+How well 'advertised' are the resources we already have here? Different answers +for different kinds of resources. . . Where does this fit in? Windows?
+HST to get the Kath Russell report, and some letting evaluation +forms, say from 4Q2008, and circulate. Also ask if any summary or collation has been done.
+HST to ask Ken Jobling where to find the details of how food hygiene regulations +apply depending on exactly what's happening.
+Our next meeting will be at 7 Victoria Terrace at 7:30pm on Sunday 8 March. We +tentatively agreed on 23 March for our next meeting after that.
