 essential responsibilities of the Meeting House Manager. Exactly what
 this means varies in terms of three distinct periods:</p>
 <list type="1defn">
-<item term="A">1–12 July: (Somewhat less than) business as usual</item>
+<item term="A">1–16 July: (Somewhat less than) business as usual</item>
 <item term="B">13 July–31 August: Let to CVenues</item>
 <item term="C">1 September onwards: Business as usual</item>
 </list>
-<p>We propose to cover business as usual, meaning at a minimum the
-operation of the Meeting House on a day-to-day basis for existing
-lettings and ongoing Quaker use with existing staff: the three contract
-staff (MS, EG, KL) and the casual staff, supervised as necessary by
-members of the MHMC.</p>
+<p>Beginning on 1 July we propose to cover business as usual, meaning
+at a minimum the operation of the Meeting House on a day-to-day basis,
+that is for existing lettings and ongoing Quaker use, with existing
+staff: the three contract staff (MS, EG, KL, aka MEK) and the casual
+staff, supervised as necessary by members of the MHMC.</p>
+<p>MG and HST, with input from JN and MEK, aim to have a plan by 10 June for
+MG to train MEK between then and 25 June, when there will be an
+all-hands staff meeting with HST present to review the state of play
+and address any remaining issues.  </p>
+	<p>HST, KM and RF will form a rota to be the point person for
+MEK questions/contact in emergencies.  This is particularly important
+during the crucial weeks of period B: 14-19 July; 2–9 August; 24–31
+August.</p>
 <p>The extent to which we will be open for new bookings during periods A
 and C will depend on staff availability and fitness for the relevant
-tasks. We have not yet approached staff about their availability and
-interest in stepping up to more responsible roles, and so the scale of
-operation we can aim at will not be determined until we do so.</p>
-<p>We will discuss with MG how the time between now and 1 July can best
-be used to prepare staff for at least the necessary tasks.</p>
-<p>We are prepared to cover supervision and, if necessary, be present,
-during the crucial weeks of period B: 14-19 July*; 2–9 August; 24–31
-August.</p>

+tasks. We have approached staff about their availability and
+interest in stepping up to more responsible roles, but a detailed
+analysis of what we can expect will not be available until the
+training plan is clearer.</p>
+<p>We look to Trustees to initiate and drive the consultation process
+on what staffing profile we are looking to see in SE Scotland Area
+Meeting, which MHMC are of course happy to participate in.</p>
