Present:
Helen Grainge, Harry Grainge, Sheree Grant, Jackie West, Marion Taylor, Pam Morrison, Kenny Maclean, Jim Curry, Debbie Peters.
Jackie informed meeting that she had participate in conference call with George Seligman and Peter Burrows-Smith with regards to new copier and the different options available. After discussion it was felt that perhaps a colour copier was going to prove to be very expensive as the cost per copy was high. We are now going to look at new or reconditioned black and white copier with the help of Peter Burrows-Smith, who George Seligman has requested gives us his expertise/assistance in purchasing such equipment. We will need to investigate if Grant funding is available for reconditioned machine.
Discussion about increase in cost of magazine, agree to charge 35p per copy. Invoice to be issued to all retailers of the magazine, retailer will be able to keep 5p per copy or donate to senior citizens fund. All cheques for magazine to be given to Marion to bank in new account set up for magazine.
Date of Next Meeting after CC Meeting on 2nd February 2010.

Correspondence
See Appendix to Minutes
AOB
Members of the Community were concerned that the Community Council had not been in correspondence with Highland Council, with regards to the Corriemoillie Windfarm development. It was pointed out that we had written to Highland Council on the 6th October 2009 stating that the position regarding Windfarm development remained unchanged, people felt that we should now write again as the planning application had now been submitted. There followed much discussion about the development, Matilda Urie, representative from Eon, also pointed out benefits of Windfarm development.
One member of the community asked if everyone felt the same with regards to the development (that they were against it); one member stood up and said that she was for the development. It was agreed that a letter would again be written to Highland Council, stating the position of those attending the Community Council meeting.
Question was raised about Community Benefit from development; Matilda explained that sums were based on industry standard.
Sue will be attending Wester Ross Alliance meeting next week.
Bus Stops – still no news, Sheree will contact Transerv and report back at next meeting.
