In receipt of correspondence relating to running of Shrine Council. Cannot attend. However, observes that clash of personalities likely with problems the Shrine has had. Must be clear on responsibility of Shrine Director else becomes a "general dog's body". Similarly for the Manager. Relationship between the two roles is important. Perhaps this will afford Bishop Clark the opportunity to tease out the underlying issues.

Mr R A Hood (Administrator) writes that Fr Rimmer of Manchester mentioned that the Shrine at Walsingham had suffered damage during severe weather. This would require £5000 to repair. Are these facts correct, and are you obtaining reimbursement from insurance? He may make a personal donation to the Shrine.

Opening paragraph: Last report to Shrine Council before Fr Peter Allen SM takes over.
Preamble: The final report is intended to be as objective as possible "for the sake of 'building the Kingdom of God'"
Staffing: difficult times in reducing staffing levels for financial and managerial reasons. Manager employed to handle Bureau aspects. Guestmasters - included a Job description and recommendations about the role alongside the Manager's own
Faint and Trust: Bishop Clark wrote in 1981 "It is only because of mutual trust that we can collaborate." problems over trust has caused unhappiness, insecurity and concerns over the future. The Shrine Council has not maintained confidentiality as it aught.
Position and Authority of the Director: Urgent need for a clear job description and to have clear reporting/authority lines. Similarly for financial matters. Gives examples of where these have all failed.
Review of Management Situation: Financial, Staff administration, General Administration.
Walsingham Association: a growing organisation with certain influences and potential to become an independent commercial enterprise. The Shrine Council need to be aware and respond appropriately.
Golden Jubilee: expenses breakdown, Celebrations, Income.
Finances 1984/85
Walsingham Community
Ecumenism
Piety Shop: Concern over service and articles sold. Goodliffe Neale experiment operating for a year (a year to go) and the promise to "eliminate 'plastic rubbish' has not been fulfilled.
Conclusion: Much achieved; administrative side leaves much to be desired; staff relations to be addressed; summary of Fr Birch's time at Walsingham "I shall never forget this unique experience and opportunity to grow in all respects. Thank you for that."

Solicitor writing to the Bishop that Canon Francis Patrick Keiron died on 8 June 1981 and has made a bequest amounting to about £60,000. This is for the incumbent East Anglia Diocese Bishop to spend on the development of the National Shrine in Walsingham, specifically for the Open Air Altar or failing that for charitable purposes connected with the Shrine.
When the Grant of Probate has been obtained, it will have to be re-sealed in Singapore, so the legacy will be some little time in coming. Asks for instructions on how to deal with the proceeds.
