2. LETTER TO EDUCATION and CULTURE AND LEISURE SERVICES
We have written to Ronnie O’Conner and Bridgett O’Connell (Directors who have recently been teamed together in a Commission and whose purposes coincide very much with our own)) inviting their departments to become partners with the Trust. We are also seeking grant aid from the Council for free swimming for children and senior citizens should we manage to open the pool. Free swimming in these categories is made available to all Glasgow citizens at the Council's pools. We need to make a calculation in the bid we are preparing for the council due on March 14th 2006. We await a reply. (Attached for interest and information).

3. LETTER TO STEVE INCH DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT AND REGENERATION SERVICES
Further letter to Steve suggesting a meeting to discuss issues arising from the commitment of the council to Community Planning Partnerships and other issues and the way in which they impinge on decisions being made about the Healthy Living Centre proposed by the Trust on behalf of the south side community. We await a reply (Attached for interest and information).
