As previously advised The History Society. the current Trustees, mirror the same Succession problem as the Museum with encouraging additional members and volunteers. To secure the futurc of succession and finance that both the History Society and Museum require if they are to survive, the current roles of the History Society Committee, and a Museum Advisory Group are to continue to positively advertise to encourage more rnembers, volunteers, visitors and groups while helping to highlight both thc cxistence and worth to both the Dalkeith community and potential businessltrustees. It remains imperative that evervone rernains positive to future succession, and to continue investigating and completing grant applications where applicable. Last Year advised the meeting that he would be standing dowAI as Chair after AGM 2025 but would be prepared to continue as a mernber of the committee. It therefore falls me to thank you for all you have done for the Historv Society and Chair and on behalf of the committee and membership for your contribution and dedication to the continued transfer of historic knowledge of this town of ours and fmally the continued success of the History Societ). whilc rcrnaining an invaluable and supportive member of the committee's team
Scotland has considered their recent grant application and it appears to broadlv mect thc outcomes and requirements of their Historic Environment Grants Programme and are happy that the museum should proceed. The move into the 25/26 ycar remains positive while caution prevails. History Society Update The Society have had a balanced year financially particularly due to our in-house member speakers donating their time free. Thank you. Our series of Monday events throughout the session have proved popular with the membership, and it is satisfying to rewrt that there has been a growth in new members and visitors alike. Various donations from visitors and Llfe members are always gratefully received. To confirni .. .in April th¢ Chair advised by emaivpost of the ongoing need for sustainability and suggested that the membership be charged at £15 per annum. l am delighted to Lonfirn] that this suggestion has had an excel lent support. I can confirni that the 25/26 session membership fee therefore will be £15 per annum ongoing. This uplift in charge enables us to continue to meet various costs and potential uplift in costs but also to consider the re print of the Dalkeith History Society "Old Dalkeith" Issues 1,2 & 3 all popul< with Museum visitors and could enable a turther income stream. These originally co.st £3.50 each and we propose to charge £4 each going forward. Finally, the visitor donation will go frorn £2 to £3 in keeping with thc member to visitor donation cost ratio.
