Photographs of the Belfry, taken the day after the fire, are
available to members at £1 a set of 11. These were taken by Dave Turner and the profits from the sale of these
sets will be added to the Hut Fund. The
various pictures show views both inside and outside the building and the extent
of the damage is clearly shown. The
boxed Bertie on the door, which was extensively damaged, is also subject of
one of the photographs. Members wishing
to purchase a set shout contact Dave Turner,

If events work out as the Committee hope, then the new
Belfry can be built by Christmas but details elsewhere. We shall need a considerable amount of
furniture and internal fittings. If you
have anything at all which will be of use please let Alan Thomas know fairly
soon. As most people will know by now that
Alan has bought a cottage in Priddy and he has kindly offered to store any
items of furniture in his large shed there. If you are not able to bring the material to Mendip then it might be
possible for someone to come and collect it. The more important items that are required takes the form of tables;
dining chairs; wardrobes; crockery, eating irons, and bathroom fittings that
would be suitable for the showers.
---------
The conversion of the changing rooms into a temporary Belfry
is almost complete and members will be able to move in within the next few
weeks. The accommodation holds nine
people, cooking facilities; electric lighting is now on thanks to Doug Parfitt
who came up during the week after the Dinner and rewired the building, the roof
has been waterproofed by John Riley and his team of helpers and in addition
Jock with his Scots determination has demolished the wooden Belfry ready for
Fred Owen to move in when the lights switch to green. Walt Foxwell has been asked to have his new
track in operation by 20th October and the cattle grid at the entrance to the
Belfry car park will be laid.
