Mr Elwood has spoken to Mr Hall of IHCT and provides a long explanation of their position with respect to obtaining a commitment and meeting the constraints of the Planning Consent gained earlier - an indication in the 9 December letter that unapproved work was being considered. IHCT is not willing to let things drift still more. His advice is:

  1. Ask Mr Hatcher for a realistic programme of work which can be undertaken over 5 to 7 years
  2. provide an approximate cost for each phase of the work; consider fundraising opportunities in that time
  3. liaise with Bibleway for a greater contribution
  4. decide what can realistically be done in 2 years, then ask for a renewal of lease,
  5. decide the level of rent you can afford over the initial 2 year period

Disadvantages to not having the Option renewed on a formal basis: 1. you are there on licence (i.e. on sufferance) and can be ejected at any time - the monies spend are then wasted; 2. the rent is not fixed and can be renegotiated at any time. Done well to raise funds so far. Suggested alternative to renegotiating the Option -lease for 5 years. Await results of Trustees discussions.

Elwood writes. Bibleway and Meryemana discussion on use of St Nicholas. Request indication of income to assist in setting lease rent level. IHCT want information about the programme of work over the next 12 to 24 months in time for their next meeting. Risk exists that IHCT takes control of the Church and makes it available to organisations on a function by function basis, this could exclude Meryemana from a controlling interest altogether.
