Para 1.17 an The year has been dominated by the need to raise funds for and then to complete the renovation of three houses and refurbishment of a fourth following the unusually large loss of three of our residents.

I It was almost inevttable that the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus during the year served virtually to eliminate both chapel Services and communal aclivilies centred on No 9. Sadly, also, after losing Hilda Dunn from No 4 at the end of2019 we said goodbye to Mary Hugill from No 2 and Nalalie Mardles from No 8. P￿al20 However, on the positive side despite an occasional scare none of our residents succumbed lo the virus and the Alarm Call system provided a convenient remote link between the Warden and residents few of whom could be described as devotees of Zoom. Moreover, it has been pleasing to record the athenl of Bob HaNey to No 2. Tina Kennedy to No 4 and Susie Parry to No 8 and Ihat all of them have settled in well. Gratifyingly also. by the end of January 2021 nine out of our thirteen residents had become subscribers lo the recently inlroduced Communal Broadband system which should ¢ontinue to provide excellent value for money, particularly rf we do not have to invest in a rented line to secure additional bandwidth. Most surprisingly of all, 2020 proved to an exceptionally productive year for renewal of the internal fabric of our houses. The award of an interest free loan from the Almshouse Association in April. coupled with the availabilrty of vacant houses enabled our building contractors to renovate three houses (Nos 2, 4 and 14) completely and lo refurbish No 8 wilh minimal disruption to the lives of residents. As a result. although we have (hopefully temporarily) exhausted virtually all our available reserves, there remains just one house (No 71 which still needs to undergo full intemal renovation and there is no immediate pressure for that to be done. Conse Uen￿ at St Annes rf nowhere else the Chinese epigram - "May you live in interesting times" has proved in 2020 to be more of a blessing than a curse and a period of consolidation now appears to be in prospect.
