The size of generator required and the reconstruction of the hut were also discussed and the pond was to be put in good order over the summer, with a levy taken from Nairnshire Curling Association clubs.

The "Modified Monckton Rule" (creating a free guard zone) had been discussed by Moray Province. It was decided to await a lead from the RCCC.
