Dear Member
Following our Annual General meeting in January, I wrote
to the OCP Trust with a view to obtaining financial
assistance towards our proposed renovation work on Steem
Priory. I hope members will appreciate that the Sheem
Priory project is the most ambitious development that
the Society has undertaken. It is particularly
important, therefore, that all members contribute to
the effort that will be required if the project is to
be a success. I received a reply from Mr Beeswing of
OCP, of which the following paragraph is an extract.
"The CEP Trust does not normally contribute towards
restoration work on buildings intended for business use.
However, we are aware that if the priory were not
restored, it couldnean thee loss of a building of great
historic interest. Consequently, an application for
assistance from the Trust would te favourably
considered. "
It wrauld seean that Mr Beeswing is sympathetic to our
cause and I suggest that we forward an application to
the OCP Trust as soon as possible. I would be interested
to hear suggestions from members as to what form such an
application should take. Suggestions shculd be sent to
me bythe endof March, in time for me to present them
to the executive meeting on April 6th. A prempt reply
would be rnuch appreciated in order that I rnight meet
that deadline.
Yours sincerely
Martyn Giltert (secretary)
