Applications for Financial Assistance. PDF 726 KB Consider a request for financialassistance received from the River Tweed Salmon Fishing Museum. (Copy attached.) Additional documents:
Minutes: 3.0 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE There had been
circulated copies of an application for Financial Assistance from
River Tweed Salmon Fishing Museum in the sum of
£9,249. The estimated total cost
of the project was £54,949 and funding had been awarded from
Fallago Environment Fund
(35,7000 and SBC Community Fund
(£10,000). The application
explained that the aim of the Museum was to establish a permanent
exhibition of salmon and the sport of angling in the centre of its
birthplace, Kelso with displays of the history, heritage and its
influence in the social and economic development of the towns of
the Scottish Borders and Scotland. The
Museum would be situated in the former Tourist Information Centre
and would house displays on the salmon life cycle and migration,
aerial film of the river tweed etc. It
was anticipated that the museum would attract some 10,000 –
15,000 visitors per year, would be staffed by volunteers and free
of charge. The grant would be used
towards the cost of Photography (£5,060) and Printed displays
(£4,770) all for the production of displays in the Museum, as
part of wider project. The Investment
and Pensions Manager explained that the museum had opened and the
amount being requested was substantial and would impact on the
reserves. The Sub-Committee were in
favour, in principle of the project but were against spending
reserves. Following discussion, it was
agreed that 50% of the amount requested (£4,624) be awarded
as a one-off payment. AGREED:-
(a) to support the application for financial assistance for The River Tweed Salmon Fishing Museum in the sum of £4,624, and
(b) that this would be a one-off payment.
