Apologies: Anne Coombs AC 1.Minute of meeting of 11th July 2017 Subject to correcting the pension staging date to 1st October. Proposed by GS, seconded by NH 2.Matters Arising a) Bank closure:Jamie Stone raised the question in parliament re. ATM and bank closure. The BOS van will be in Dornoch 3 days a week (this has already started). However, there are teething problems such as access and only being able to bank complete bags of money. This does not work for many businesses. The Post Office does have lots of blank times where business can be done. Paddy Murray has suggested car sharing to Tain. This could be arranged via Cath at the Service Point. b) MSP visit:Gail Ross MSP was very impressed with the town. She visited the Golf Club and was interested to hear their views about the Coul Links project, the UHI accommodation block, Glenshiel (the extension to Links House), the Community Market and Historylinks Museum. c) Surf Awards:AW reported and it was agreed that the focus of this award was wrong for Dornoch. d) Website:Copyright error, apology accepted. e) HIE:  i. Approved funding for drone footage and Dornoch video to present to Invergordon Ground Handlers in bid for half day tours ii. DACIC need to address succession planning and future income streams to become a social enterprise. Funding for a consultant run Blue Sky Thinking Day iv. Graduate Placement Scheme: not feasible at this stage due to financial constraints & supervision requirements. 3.Membership and Shareholders:None. John and Genevieve Duhigg are currently registered as non resident stakeholders. GS will check to see if that has changed now Dornoch Stores is open. 4. 2017 plan: a) Whisky Festival.Progess made, on-line ticket sales ahead of last year at 4000. NH acknowledged hard work undertaken by JB. Self-perpetuating model needed. Vhairi Mackay and Lou Rollason moving things forward. b) Visitors Centre:Visitor numbers down in July and August but probably due to a fault in recording (Cath on holiday for 3 weeks) and as the centre has been restricted to one employee (previous years VS funded additional member of staff over summer). Town has seemed very busy! YTD figure 19,051 slightly up on 2016. c) Business Group:JB visited Dornoch Hotel re: joining business group but not heard back. The hotel will be open for the Whisky Festival. d) Cruise Liners:Lee Phillips filmed 22-24 August (funded by HIE). Video presentation will be used to pitching for cruise liners tours. NH has been attending the stakeholder meetings in Invergordon. e) Pensions:Staff members have been invited to join the Nest Scheme. Replies requested by 1st October.f) Month by month plan:Check with business group for best time for review meeting (e.g. November or New Year). Liaise with shops re Late Night Opening on 30th November. Confirm content for New Year leaflet. g) Project Sweep: GS reported. Next meeting 2nd October. The plan has received a positive response from World Curling Federation. The Board viewed plans and sketches of the multi-use venue. The plan would attract custom locally and from abroad. Funding could be a challenge but there were funding streams to be explored such as Heritage Lottery. AM will see if Wade Cormacks thesis mentions the history of Curling in this area. It was agreed that the emphasis would be placed on young people in any business plan with the opportunity to create a mini league and training facilities. No problems anticipated with SEPA for proposed site next to UHI student block. NH reported on Golf Club AGM when members had voted to delay the driving range, bus park and golf shop due to escalating costs. A 5 year plan with Club house built before driving range preferred (subject to planning permission). There has been progress on both projects. NH is to meet with the Community Council in October and JM suggested a walkthrough of the current Club House. The Golf Club intends to buy the land from ANM where Project Sweep is to be built. It was agreed that the project should be seen by the public as a social enterprise with the emphasis on how the community will gain from these facilities. h) Donald Ross leaflet:Now in circulationi) Pictish Trail leaflet: AC not present.j) Whole Dornoch leaflet and bedroom folders:Bedroom Folder: JB making progress. Printing of bedroom folder should be at the end of October. Leaflet: Work in progress, events all need to be signed off before going to printer in December. JB will go over dates with Carol Mackay at DADCA. Emphasis on businesses paying for their spot on these as printing & distribution of both has total cost is 2300. On JMs advice, JB will apply to Ward Discretionary Fund for funding. k) Rosumund Pilcher leaflet: LM had read Winter Solstice and there is potential for leaflet. l) World Host Training:In July 2018, it will be 3 years since original destination status was awarded, so individuals & businesses need to ensure their registrations are still current. 50% discount can be applied by People 1st. Plan for one session at the tail end of 2017 and one in March 2018 depending on feedback.. 5. Approval of Annual Accounts: Approved6.Financial Statement:Free reserves will be reduced this year with requirement for winter cover in VC, unless we can arrange volunteers. Business Group contribution still awaited from Grannies Heilin Hame. JB to visit the new manager Paul Vant. GS will approach John and Genevieve Duhigg to see if either would consider becoming a director. Still waiting for some Business Group payments and JB is approaching businesses out with Dornoch. Worst case scenario 12,000 free reserves. 7.MDO Report: Approved8.AOCB. a) NC500 map advert: Approvedb) Public Toilets:JM reported that a refurbishment of the current public toilet was being costed by the Community Council with potential funding from Common Good. A licence to occupy would be required from HC and transfer of running costs (last enquiry was 2k pa). No clear income stream unless visitors charged. JM is attending a meeting next week. DACIC would need to know running costs and make a business plan before considering involvement but being registered for VAT and as an employer would be helpful. c) Date of next meeting: Following AGMd) AGM:Wednesday 1st November 2017 at 7.30pm RDGC. e) St Andrews Fair:Flowers and Fairs are looking for another organisation to take on the Fair. It was agreed it should be put to DADCA. f) WiFi HC are funding free WiFi for Dornoch and JB attended an initial meeting with Keith Grant.g) Community Council Boundary change:Chris Ferne informed JB that there had been a boundary change. JM was unaware of this and will take the information to the Community Council Meeting. f) Former site of the Mallin House Hotel in Church Street:AW enquired if anyone know what was happening to the site. NH confirmed that the site would be developed in the future by J & G Gunn.  "$XZuw   ! " U W b m o q }  " & ; C { ~ ີ䮦䮦ʚʚ h.o( h;hu/h70h#\ h;h# h.5h70h#5h=Gh.H*h.h70h#H*h70h#5\h#hu/h;h5 h5\ hH*h<45!
