Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next petition is No. P00076/12 from Mrs. Sheila Ferris suggesting that greater use be made of resources in community employment schemes in the year of The Gathering, and that historical groups in local areas transcribe, collate and make available electronically all church records held in each parish, and also investigate how these records could be made available from a centralised data website. The petitioner is of the view that if this suggestion was introduced, it could keep the momentum of The Gathering running for longer than one year. I will now open it up to the members. We have had a chance to deliberate on this matter.
