Project Officer’s Report February 08

Lodge Redevelopment
Funding:
A hearing of one application has been put back to a March meeting, and all supporting info has been requested this week. Much supporting info has now been sent.
HICEC: Decision on Wednesday regarding £100,000 application.
Arts Funder Application: Should be sent very soon, with log built flexi studio in it. Has been re-sent to a representative of HI~Arts for any advice.
Other: We still have yet to hear when the Scottish Biomass Support Scheme may reopen for applications. An application may be made to another charitable foundation’s arts programme. This may be a lot of work, for around £15-20,000.

Log buildings
A meeting was held with Hilary of Culag Community Woodlands Trust regarding possible CCWT involvement in the log construction course.
