Objective - To provide opportunities for local artists to showcase their work.

Aim – Suggestion of broadening the scope of the term ‘artist’ beyond that of art and sculpture. The building can be used for musical recitals, performances, talks and poetry readings or book fairs.

Objective -To encourage, promote and support local charities, 'friends' groups and  community groups.

Aim – It was felt that the Trust had already promoted the use of the building to such groups to an acceptable level, considering that these groups were offered reduced rates for the hire of rooms and any additional increase would have a detrimental affect on the cash flow for the Trust.

Aim – The Members discussed the possibility of starting a fund raising monthly giving programme with a regular bonus draw, promotion of leaving a gift in a will, and expanding the merchandise we sell.
