en• I , ... R.El'ORT (Xi '1lIE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES - APRIL 1995 TO MARCH 1996

The year was marked by increasing activity at national level through contacts with the Association of Preservation Trusts and the Architectural Heritage Fund, both based in London. This, in turn, was helpful in getting information on the correct procedure when an application was made for a Heritage Lottery Grant in respect of Bath Mill, . Bath Mill in Mansfield, also known as Goldie's Mill, is a former water­ powered textile mill, now disused. The main building which dates from 1822, was converted and extended in 1880 with more recent alterations. The mill was built originally for the making of cotton and lace thread and later converted to cotton doubling. In collaboration with Council and financed by them, the Architectural Heritage Fund and the Trust, a feasibility study has been carried out by Brian Allebon on the possible restoration and rehabilitation of the mill building.

In respect of a new use for the building, this would cater for people with special needs, both in providing accommodation and training and the Autistic Society and NORSAKAwere particularly involved. The total cost of the project is in the region of two million pounds. Grants from the European R D Fund and a Derelict Land Grant have been offered and a loan or grant from the Architectural Heritage Fund is likely. The essential element of the scheme, however, is an award from the Heritage Lottery Fund without which the project could not take place. Another feasibility study financed by Mansfield District Council involved a 1904 house called 'Innisdoon' in Chesterfield Road South, Mansfield. This is a large house built for a local family in the Arts & Crafts style but has been standing empty and subject to vandalism. The study supported a proposal to restore the building for use by a group practice of doctors. The Trust entered into a so-called 'back-to-back' agreement with Newark & Sherwood District Council in respect of The Lock Cottage, Newark. This was an agreement to back the Council in serving a Repairs Notice on a reluctant owner. In the event of the owner countering with a Purchase Notice on the Council, the Trust agreed to purchase the property at the District Valuer's valuation.

Fortunately, the owners have now complied with the Repairs Notice and the building is being restored, to the great benefit of the riverside area. Representatives of the Trust attended meetings of the Association of Preservation Trusts at Cromford, Bretforton near Evesham, Rothwell and London. At these meetings, Building Preservation Trusts exchange ideas and experiences and receive advice from Central Office in London. The Council of Management was addressed by the National Co-ordinator of the APT, Maria Perks, at their July meeting, (hll' "I 110,' '1'lllrterly meetings of the Regional Conrnittee of the APT was LlSI OF HrlHBFBS 1995/96 III,"I,.t! toy I.Ioi8 Trust at The Ossington Coffee House; this meeting was III t"I\(I"d Ioy members of Trusts from the Fast Midlands.

REPORTOF THE AUDITOR1'0 THE MEJfBERS

I have audited the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st r~rch1996 in accordance with auditing standards, having regard to the following matters:

The Trust, in common with many charities, derives a substantial proportion of its income from legacies and other voluntary donations. These cannot be full y controlled until they are entered in the accounting records and are not therefore capable of independent audit verification.

Subject to the foregoing, in my op1n1on the Financial Statements, which have been prepared under the historical cost convention, give a true and fair view of the state of the Trust's affairs at 31st March 1996 and of the results sho~;non the Income and Expenditure Ar.count, for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act 1985.
