<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just so that everyone knows what has been
happening. We (Keltek Trust) heard today that our last potential destination for
the bells has come to nothing. If it had gone ahead then several of the bells
would have been used to augment a chime in Limerick. It is now certain
that the back four will be scrapped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have declined to use our limited resources to
acquire them. This decision has been taken after looking at the tonal analysis
and quality, considering the </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>likely demand for
bells of this size and the current scrap metal price. Our trustees came to the
conclusion that we would find it difficult to recover our costs if we purchased
the bells. Our limited funds are better utilised rescuing other bells and this
year we have purchased bells to the value of £50,000 with more acquisitions
pending. As you may imagine the level of acquisitions has put a strain on
our finances. Anyone have any spare cash?</FONT></DIV>
