Matters
arising
As
the
previous
minute
stated
the
intention
to
expand
membership
of
the
management
committee,
nominations
were
invited.
Erlend
Flett
was
proposed
by
John
Muir
and
seconded
by
Lilian
Sinclair.
Athole
Thomson
was
proposed
by
Helen
Paterson
and
seconded
by
Ida
Gorn.
This
takes
the
committee
number
up
to
six,
leaving
space
for
specialist
input
in
the
future,
if
necessary.
Mr
Flett
then
referred
to
the
context
one
month
previously
when
there
was
an
expectation
that
St.
Nicholas
Church
would
be
advertised
for
sale.
This
had
now
happened,
and
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
was
to
clarify
our
intentions
and
decide
how
to
progress
fro
m
this
point.
There
was
some
discussion
on
the
implications
of
category
B
listing,
and
whether
de
‐
listing
would
be
possible.
There
was
also
discussion
on
the
stability
of
the
building,
with
the
implications
for
future
maintenance
and
expense,
and
it
was
felt
that
a
site
visit
would
be
ne
cessary
to
inform
opinion
on
the
structural
quality
of
the
building.
There
was
also
some
concern
about
the
consecrated
status
of
the
ground
beneath
the
building,
and
a
desire
to
have
this
clarified.
Decision
To
lodge
a
declaration
of
interest
in
the
property
with
the
Church
of
Scotland,
George
Street,
Edinburgh.
To
request
permission
to
make
a
site
visit
to
view
the
inte
rior
of
the
building.
To
discuss
with
the
local
planning
authority
and
Historic
Scotland
the
possibilities
of
delisting.
To
investigate
the
implications
of
burials
within
the
footprint.
T
o
seek
advice
on
insurance
premiums
for
this
type
of
property
