An important day

Today presented another of those tingling moments - when you are 100% certain you have done everything you can before passing the point of no return, but you can't help hesitating, just in case. Well, there was a certain amount of hesitation but shortly before 2pm I pressed the 'submit' button on the Heritage Lottery website, and off went our carefully-crafted application for just short of £550,000 which, if we're successful, will allow us to press on with our project. It's been a lengthy process, full of interest with the occasional bump in the road, but we have got there thanks to fantastic input by the Society's working group, the support of our wonderful patrons, and many others. We are due to receive the verdict in September.
