Re-generation

Sandstone for building and Shale for ballast command quite good prices, and the possibility of using such an exposed location for siting wind turbines will attract government grants. Call me cynical if you wish but that old roman adage "Cui Bono" should be at the forefront of our considerations here. Who Benefits from enclosing common land and then returning it to the commonality? If Chelmswood's proposal is to restore the landscape to its pre-industrial condition then that is laudable but a little inconsiderate of our historical heritage and, considering that part of the site is home to pre-historic remains, I feel sure that the County Archeological Service and English Heritage should be involved in the formulation of any proposal for the site.

I think that Chelmswood, if it is as philanthropic as has been claimed, should be considerably more forthcoming about its past history of such projects and its intentions for this site before anyone here gets involved - after all, if the trust has nothing to hide, why all the obfuscation?

I am not yet at the point of smelling a rat, but, well... it makes you wonder.

That's what is so odd. Not even you who have volunteered to work for them can find out any more than the rest of us. Now doesn't that strike you as being a little, well....................... odd?

I have checked up on it, was waiting for a reply. There is a law tutor at the Uni who specialises in land and property law, and I asked him to have a look into it for me and his reply was that it appears legitimate but just odd that someone would take the time to do it.

As far as he has found though, the actual estate and everything does exist as said, though he didn't send me links to all his findings.
 
Well we know the King Wilkinson estate exists but it's this Chelmswood business that seems to be hard to get a handle on.

Well he mentioned Lord Chelmswood throws a party at christmas at the manor for volunteers and things, but I am not quite sure where the link with Lord Chelmswood actually comes into it, as I thought he was based in Nottinghamshire?
 
More googling reveals this
Tim Harris (Radio dj and Football Director)(Lord of Chelmswood Manor, Nottinghamshire

Perhaps he is doing 'Have you been Had?'

But is this the real Lord Chelmswood and what's the connection with King Wilkinson?

I wouldn't know because I don't know either family, but perhaps they know eachother?

I still haven't recieved this pack that they have apparently sent to me. Would've been here by now even if it was sent by second class. Wonder where its got to :p
 
If anyone is interested, I never received the pack I was apparently sent, nor did they respond again after they said they would send 'another' so my guess is that they weren't entirely telling the truth or it doesnt exist at all.
 
I'm still waiting patiently to know the name they're registered under with the Charity Commission.
