Doc Bob answerd a question regarding the HLf at the members day last saturday he said.
the Trust is in regular contact with their Lottery liaison and have frequently requested further funds. These requests have been turned down on all occasions as the Lottery will only fund capital schemes, not the ongoing revenue stream of a project. The most recent occasion that a request for more money was rejected was w/c 3rd Feb 2009! And i understand there are other talks ongoing, which i dont have details of.
Being realistic all this talk of letting the whole thing die and someone else talking over is'nt going to happen, Who in thier right minds is going to stump up the cash etc in resurecting 558? its far easier and cheaper to keep her servicable than it is to bring her back to life so to speak.
