Well I've not seen the paper but I understand that a Trustee of Misterton Community Trust has written a letter to the Epworth Bells giving a totally opposite view to that reached by the rest of the Trustees. Which begs the question, why are they a Trustee when they vote one way and spout another view in public.
Anyway, which ever way you look at it, asking us to tip up £250,000 to bodge up that building is ridiculous. So. don't forget to turn up for the meeting on Saturday at 10.30 at the Methodist Hall and make your vote count. You can be sure that despite what the Trustees have agreed, they will call up their troops to vote against the resolution. Then what, well they had better not ask me for money via fund raising. I'll stump up for God but not for a lost cause.
Then there is the library, what are they going to do about that without our consent. Now up for auction I understand and that means cash available to pay up within 28 days, or you lose your deposit. That must be causing a bit of a turmoil within our little group and emptying of piggy banks. It's in a prime spot so it should make a good price. A tale for another day I think.
It would be a ridiculous state of affairs if, following a £10k report saying the derelict building should be sold, some residents manage to thwart this sensible suggestion. If this turns out to be the case, I would suggest that someone draws the attention of the Charity Commission to what is happening.
ReplyDeleteI was Clerk to the corporate Trustee when the trust deed was drafted in 2005, and it was never the intention of the Charity Commission that the public consultation clause could provide a tool to perpetually block sensible trust management.

Just heard on the grapevine that the VI will be sold.Thank goodness we have some sense at last.However it could have been sold over 2 years ago if a certain group of silly people had not put their oar in. What a load of money has been wasted by them. I hope that they are hanging their heads in shame as it was obvious it was a non starter from the beginning of their saviour campaign
