Annual Report

We move now to item 2 on our agenda, which is the annual report. A draft version of the report has been circulated. Having read it in great detail, members will be enamoured of it, or otherwise. Do members have any comments?

There are a couple of small typographical points that will no doubt be picked up by the clerk.

Heartfelt apologies. Those errors will be corrected in the final version.

Gavin Brown:

The report says that we met 21 times and that 13 of the meetings were partly held in private. That makes us sound quite secretive, but the time spent in private probably amounted to no more than 1 per cent of the total length of our meetings. I wonder whether another form of words might make the point that the great majority of our discussions were held in public.

That is a fair point. I will ask Stephen Imrie, our clerk, to consider the wording.

Are members otherwise content with the annual report?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting closed at 11:34.
