Iease oftheland on whichthehut isbuilt.
Other As well astheroutine activities described aboveinthe
section of 'Summaryofthemainactivities...', thelast12
months have involved two significant additional projects.
Although the actual building (the Hut) is ownedbyour charity,
thelandthat it is built onisownedbythe AldbourneParish
Council and is leaded to ourcharity.The existing lease (that
had run for25years) was due to expire andanew lease
agreement neededtobe drawnup.WhilsttheParish Council
were very supportiveofour request to extendthelease, there
was stillalotof effort requiredtoredraw, update and sign-off
thenew lease, whichhasallnow been completed.
Some years ago,itwas decidedtoextend the existing hut
and refurbish the existingfacilities.After a period of planning
and fundraising thisworkhas nowstarted.ltwas decided
that in ordertokeep costs toaminimum we would undertake
themajorityofwork ourselves and draw volunteers from the
local community as much aspossible.There havebeen
numerous'workingparties' covering everythingfromhumping
materials,tolaying the concrete foundations, to puttingonthe
roof.Whilst Graham Edmonson has been supportedattime
byvarious individualstohave contributed significant timeand
expertise, the effort that Graham himself has put in hasbeen
morethanincredible,fromplanning, budgeting, ordering,
organising and actualbuilding.Thereisstillatleast12
monthsofthisprojecttorun, and we are all confident thatit
will deliver first class facilities which will future proofthehut
for manyyearsto come.
