3. POLICE REPORT: There was no police report to hand.
4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: No Councillors were present at the meeting.
5. OPEN FORUM: No members of the public were present.
6. MATTERS ARISING:
Ÿ Labyrinth: Mr Guthrie confirmed that the barbecue held on 22 September was a success in spite of showery weather. He was delighted with the evening and thanks everyone for their help and support throughout the construction and at the barbecue. Mrs Petticrew confirms there may be a problem (Health and Safety) with the steps leading down to the barbecue and is awaiting a report on this. She hopes to have this to hand for the next meeting.
Ÿ Limekiln Sign: This will be put in place when Mr Findlay has the time.
Ÿ Wall at Kennedy Park. Mrs Petticrew will hope to have money at a later date to repair this wall, as there is no point in now pursuing the Tow Truck Company due to the length of time since the accident. It is hoped that the wall does not deteriorate any further during the winter months.
Ÿ Balig Planning Application: There is now an application for two caravans at the farm and as Mr Guthrie objected to this originally he will try and attend the planning committee meeting on 16 September. Nothing further to report on the larger caravan park application.
Ÿ Castle: A report has been prepared by the Structural Engineer and Mrs Petticrew confirms that a certain amount of repairs will be carried out on railings and has also ordered signs - “Danger, no access beyond this point” etc. As it was part of the conditions at the time of the castle consolidation that the castle was to be accessible to the public, this is the best that can be done.
Ÿ Mrs Bolton expressed her thanks for the time we gave to her at the last meeting and to the help from Councillor Goldie.
Ÿ A letter of thanks was received from the artist who benefited from the prize awarded to her by the Community Council at the recent Dunure Art Club show.
Ÿ Minutes have been received from CCCF, and we have advised them we will try and get someone to attend even occasional meetings which unfortunately coincide with our own monthly meeting.

3. Mr Findlay and Mr Storie attended the first Planning Meeting which was held in Belmont School and both found this a very interesting evening.
