has been completely refurbSshed and now Includes substantial storage and a Ilmlted facllity for
refreshment. The Insurance clalm that was outstanding at the end of the year ha5 been settled but
although the final Settlement was dlsappolntlng St was consSdered that it would be too costly In terms of
time and money to pursue the matter. The settlement eventually provlded lust over 50% of the amount
