Massey's Folly Provisional Floor Plans

April Consultation Meeting Rep

September AGM report

SUMMARY REPORT FROM A MEETING OF MASSEY'S FOLLY PRESERVATION TRUST HELD ON OCTOBER 22ND 2007

There were no matters arising from the previous minutes that were not covered in the agenda.

Geoff Cumbers our Project Organiser has been trialling some draft time sheets and expenses sheets. His time needs to be clearly detailed and coded against the specifics of his job description to provide clarity for the funders as to what is being claimed for and enable us to monitor effectively. The spread sheet seems to be working well, he will send this each week to Chrys Browne (line manager). Geoff is using his three days flexibly to accommodate the meetings in which he needs to be involved
There were a variety of other discussions around the operational aspects of Geoff's post.

All trustees were reminded to ensure they are keeping a log of their time spent on the project as this will provide some matched funding.

Part of the funding received is for an architectural survey to be carried out. Gillian Mc Callum has been managing this process. Requests to tender were sent out in late September and to date there have been four interested parties. These are all architects that have specialist skills in restoring listed buildings.

It was felt the original date set for interviews did not give enough time for all the tenders to be carefully scrutinised.
Michael Starbuck, David Trevis-Smith and Geoff have the greatest amount of expertise in this area, it was agreed they would follow up this process and set another date for later in November.

There were a variety of discussions around funding issues and the need for collaboration between all involved in bringing life back into the Folly.

It was agreed that we would hold an open meeting to share information with everyone in the village and to start a consultation process. Date to be confirmed.

At a recent meeting with Andrew Ferrier at East Hants District Council, support in a variety of areas was offered to the project and to Geoff.

Chrys Browne
(Trustee of MFPT)
