The 21st October meeting was a business meeting, which dealt with a number of routine planning matters.

The main topic of discussion however was regarding the consitution of the club's charity. Concerns have been raised about the possible unlimited liability of trustees of the charity - something that other clubs have addressed by converting their charity to a SCIO - a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

There was considerable debate on this topic and the need for review was accepted. As first steps both Rotary District and GB&I will be consulted to establish what protection already exists for club members - and to seek general advice. Local clubs that have already converted their charity to a SCIO, will also be consulted.

it was agreed to taoke this matter forward to a future meeting.
