Pre-amble: Took charge of running the Shrine at the East Anglia Diocesan Vocations Pilgrimage on 29 April 1979.
Since Easter 1919: description of various events/pilgrimages; thanks to Sister Kathleen for managing the interregnum
Future of the Shrine: A Vision for the future (centenary 1997?); sharing this vision; achieving this end (Slipper Chapel / Railway Track / Accommodation and Catering / Community/Fraternity / Transit Hospital, Shared Church, Parish Hall)
Conclusion: No working committee yet; Liturgical and spiritual life needs further meditation and prayer; much to be done.

Decision to call a halt is sad and harsh, but, a projected cost of £1.3 million would require the full support of the Bishops in the Catholic community. Hope that the work done is not seen as in vain. Have asked the architect Mr Wingate to consult with Fr Birch on making fit the "Outside Altar" for say £300,000. Despite all this, the Cardinal begged that we must retain "what he loves at Walsingham: its simplicity".

Chairman's report:

  1. Chapel of Reconciliation – legacy is invested in Singapore and will eventually be re-invested to fund maintenance
  2. Shrine Administration – bankruptcy? (but for goodwill of bank); moratorium not effective (shop still placing orders); financial management required (hence a financial sub-committee; Stan Tucker as part-time Administration Officer); auditors consider an 18 month programme to manage debt and finances; Staff structure; Bro. Hawkes to be Deputy Director.

    Agreed sale of property not a regular practice but would help in erosion of current debt.

      Publicity:
    • Permanent Adornments
    • Notices
    • Brochure – 2,000 copies
    • Advertisements
    • Papal Mass
      Executive Committee – given the number of issues, important to hold soon - next on 11th May
      Walsingham Association – 47 branches/groups; another shrine council representative?
      AOB:
    • Builder's liquidisation issues

Final report. 2 versions. 1st for Bishop + 3 others. 2nd for more general distribution. Locates the differences between the reports. Has a need to "clear the air" on certain issues for the sake of his successor.
Manuscript p.s. " and thank you for your hospitality and a lovely lunch."

Grateful for the Bishop's reaction to his report. A Working Party an excellent way to deal with the issues. I was not written in a mood of pessimism, despite impression given.
