TREGARGUS TRUST 2024 AGM CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
THIS REPORT IS FOR THE YEAR ENDING OCTOBER 2023
THIS YEAR AS EVERY YEAR FOR THE TRUST HAS BEEN A HARD SLOG, KEEPING FINANCES COMING IN TO COVER THE NORMAL ANNUAL WORK THAT THE TRUST DOES IN MAINTAINING FOOTPATHS ETC, BUT STILL TRYING TO ACCESS FUNDS TO PROGRESS OUR WORK. AGAIN WE MUST THANK THE PARISH COUNCIL FOR THEIR SUPPORT IN GIVING US OUR ANNUAL GRANT. THIS ALWAYS HELPS TOWARDS OUR COSTS.
THIS YEAR WE HAD A MEETING WITH MEMBERS OF IMERY’S TO ASCERTAIN OUR POSITION REGARDING THE LEASE WHICH IS RUNNING LOW IN YEARS FOR US. AFTER SOME TIME AND CONTACT FROM US ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS, IMERY’S FELT THEY COULD NOT GRANT US AN EXTENSION TO OUR LEASE AT THIS TIME. THE TRUST FELT THAT THIS DID NOT BODE WELL. AFTER SOME SERIOUS DISCUSSION WE FELT THIS DID NOT LEAVE US IN A POSITION WHERE THE TRUST COULD HONESTLY PROGRESS, WASTING TIME TRYING TO GET LARGE SCALE FUNDING TO BE TOLD, AS WE HAD, THAT OUR LEASE WAS NOT GOING TO BE LONG ENOUGH TO ACCESS ANY SUBSTANTIAL GRANTS. WE DO MANAGE TO KEEP THE DAY TO DAY WORKS DONE AND COVER THOSE COSTS. THE TRUST DECIDED THAT UNTIL WE HAVE ANY OTHER NEWS WE WOULD JUST MAINTAIN THE VALLEY THE BEST WE COULD. I WOULD POINT OUT TOO AT THIS STAGE WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO THOSE OF THE COMMUNITY WHO ALSO TAKE TIME TO COLLECT RUBBISH AND INFORM US OF ANYTHING OF CONCERNE. THIS IS A GREAT HELP TO THE TRUST AND GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THE REDIRECTION OF THE PATH TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE SLIPPAGE AREA IS ALSO ON HOLD FOR THE TIME BEING. THE SLIPPAGE AREA IS BEING MONITORED AND NOT THOUGHT TO BE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT. WE HAVE MANAGED TO FUND SAFETY FENCING AROUND THIS AREA TOGETHER WITH ERECTION OF NEW SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY AND ALSO THE CAPPING OF A CHIMNEY, SOME OF THIS WORK THROUGH SMALL GRANT HELP AND HAD NECESSARY TREE WORK DONE. THE SEATS AND PICNIC BENCHES ARE NOW IN THE VALLEY AND WERE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY.
THERE IS NO NEWS REGARDING THE EXTENSION TO THE LAYBY AND PARKING AREA AT THE TOP VALLEY ENTRANCE. WE SEEM TO BE AT A STALEMATE AS FAR AS THIS IS CONCERNED.
THE FUNDING ISSUE WILL BE DEALT WITH BY OUR TREASURER BUT JUST TO SAY THAT THE BINGO SESSIONS HAVE CONTRIBUTED WELL TO THE FUNDS SO THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS WHO ORGANISE THIS. INCLUDING OUR USUAL HARVEST FESTIVAL ETC.ETC. WHICH NOT ONLY RAISES MONEY BUT A CHANCE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO MEET UP ON THESE SOCIAL EVENTS. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL GUIDED WALKS IN THE VALLEY ORGANISED BY OUR MEMBERS WHICH IS VERY ENCOURAGING AND WE MUST THANK THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SPEND TIME DOING THESE. IT BRINGS IN EXTRA FUNDS BUT ALSO CREATES AWARENESS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FIND THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO ARE SURPRISED THAT WE HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL ASSET.
ALTHOUGH THE LEASE MATTER MADE US FEEL VERY DISSAPPOINTED AND SOMEWHAT DISHEARTENED, WE HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS.THE HAWKINS FAMILY WHO OWN CHAPEL MILL AND WITH WHOM WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SOME CONSIDERABLE YEARS TO OBTAIN A LEASE FROM FOR THIS HISTORICAL BUILDING, HAVE AGREED TO GIFT THE PROPERTY. OBVIOUSLY PAPERWORK HAS TO BE DONE AND AGREED ON, BUT THIS HAS GIVEN THE TRUST A GREAT LIFT AND WHO WILL THEN ACTIVELY TRY TO ACCESS FUNDING FOR THIS WONDERFUL PROJECT.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT TO ME IN MY POSITION OF CHAIRMAN. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE MEMBERS OF THE TRUST WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE THEIR WORK AND WOULD ALSO SAY A HUGE THANKYOU TO THE OFFICERS ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR WORK IN KEEPING THEIR EYE ON AVAILABILITY OF GRANTS, THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF OUR WORK IN THE VALLEY AND THE POLICIES WHICH WE HAVE TO ADHERE TOO. I FEEL THAT THE COMING YEAR, WITH HOPEFULLY THE ADDITION OF CHAPEL MILL TO THE TRUST, WILL BE AN EXCITING ONE.
