Though it had been customary to invite FC's Conservator to council meetings, as they were based in Inverness and too far away to be able to attend, Marnie had been deputised on the Conservator's behalf, could invites come to him instead.

Let to O'Brien re layout of Donview Centre with attached plan, description of 16 info panels on the topic of forestry. These had not been agreed upon but requested O'Brien's comments and on the minutes of a previous meeting
R J R Marnie letter to James Mackay stating refurb of centre complete and will be open 17 Apr '81, no publicity, but invites Mackay's comments "both constructive and destructive" on the work as long as they are honest.
Marnie thanks Mackay for the productive discussion at previous meeting re planting proposals on west end of Bennachie; also thanks for errors pointed out in leaflet, says he got info from various sources, and should have let MacKay read it first.
Davidson provides feedback on points James has raised on the application form, i.e. Bailies would be 1 of many wishing to support the project; make high quality paths, brief description of project, grant level (£40K); apply by May '95.
