Bournemouth Launch Date - Sunday 13th October 2002
The launch followed the Celebration Festival High Mass of our Dedication 121 years ago in 1881
Our magnificent building and our wonderful organ are both in need of some major love and affection:
The wonderful Hill Organ is in urgent need of major refurbishment and thorough cleaning.
The conclusions from the 2002 Quinquennial Inspection suggest that major replacement of all the window ferramenta and some stonework is now urgent and the existing lighting fittings are obsolete and require replacing.
- Other minor repairs and refurbishment works are also required.
- Access is also required to various parts of this Grade 1 Listed building in order to comply with modern legislation - including:
- Health & Safety
- Safe Access
- Disability Discrimination
To accept this enormous challenge, this appeal is launched to raise the resources to carry out this work - which is estimated to cost £597,000.
Please watch this space for further announcements as our plans are developed.
