I'm sure the money is good hands Retlaw, however, good point about the Observer ... maybe our new Hyndburn Independent would like to pick up the story ?

AND there is no longer £60,000 in the pot.

So where is the money, whats been happening ?

Is there no reference to trustees of the fund?
Contact the British Legion for the answers you require.
You probably could have got the answer from the BBC journalist who offered to interview you?...who knows

The BBC only knew the Pals Chapel existed they did'nt even know it was closed, or where it was, they did inteview one member of the church committee, but it was not inside, it was outside on the street.

The British Legion knows nowt, look at the mess they made of the names for the Oswaldtwistle Memorial.

That's when we had an Observer edited by a man who knew what was happening locally, not in Rawtenstall, and there was a local office where you could direct your questions and most likely have them answered by a reporter on site

Re: Accrington Pal's

Well, speak of the devil Retlaw (better not 'tis about a church ) report in Observer that St. Johns have received a grant of £39,000 from the English Heritage which will go to the repairing of the roof and electrical work; balance to go to renovating areas the church. They are quoting the original money raised as £50,000 by the way.

They are planning to re-open the church by Christmas, work to begin end of the summer. The spokesman for the church is the church warden Amdy Shepherd.

Can't do link ... not up yet.
