4. Joseph Thomson
S. Harkness attended meeting to update us on work of this group. The
group have been working on this project for 10 years. S. Harkness had
meeting with H. Thomas of Buccleuch Estates recently at Joseph Thomson
house in Marrburn Rd. They have kindly agreed to re-roof property. We
need to raise money towards the fittings for inside to make it suitable
for storing the large amount of data that the group has amassed. It was
suggested that we put a list in shop, PO etc. asking for volunteers who
would be willing to give a few hours of their time helping to fit out
and decorate etc inside. Obviously this would not be needed until the
roofing is complete and property is watertight. Property would also
need re-wiring. Since the JT group is under the umbrella of the CC it
was agreed that the CC would write a letter of thanks to Buccleuch
Estates which shows that we support project.
Fundraising events could be held to help raise money.
