Chairman’s Comment
WE met yesterday with the Archdeacon of Lincoln, The Venerable Tim Barker, representatives of the local clergy and Bourne Town Council to discuss the restrictive covenant that the Diocese hold over the south chapel at the cemetery, which is preventing further progress with the chapel project. It is always good to hear the other point of view and we felt that this was a positive meeting. Cllr. David Mapp, one of our new councillors, proposed an amendment to the lease, with which we generally agreed, subject to the final wording, and it was decided to progress this, which, if agreed would enable the Diocese to lift the covenant. We felt that this is a positive step, and are very pleased on this initiative from Cllr. David Mapp. We will keep you advised of progress but we feel that there may be light at the end of this rather long tunnel that we have been in.
The April AGM was well attended and all existing committee members were re-elected to serve for another year. Following the AGM we had another of Jonathan’s well loved quiz nights, lots of laughter, and pictures of confused looks when the hard work was being done!
We have copies of the Helen Powell DVD about Bourne, the DVD is titled ‘The Heritage of Bourne and some of its World Famous Sons’, it costs £10 and can be purchased at our monthly members night, or
