DORNOCH HERITAGE

SCOTTISH CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION

(DH SCIO)

Registered Charity No: SC008747

Board

Election of officers to be confirmed at inaugural meeting scheduled for 31 Jan 2012

Background

Following consent by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR) on 2 November 2011 to the proposed new Dornoch Heritage SCIO, at the Dornoch Heritage Society AGM held on 10 November, 2011 resolutions were passed to dissolve the Dornoch Heritage Society Trust (Historylinks) and the Dornoch Heritage Society, with transfer of all assets, liabilities and understandings to the DH SCIO.

There was a further AGM resolution accepting the DH SCIO constitution and thereby the incorporation of the Dornoch Heritage Society and Historylinks Museum as SCIO sub committees.

Following this formal AGM acceptance, stage 2 application to OSCR led to the Dornoch Heritage SCIO being entered in the Scottish Charity Register on 22 November 2011.
