Visit from the HLF

We have had a very interesting visit from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HFL).

 

Charles, Mark and I met Des Gallagher and Lesley Owen-Jones this morning. We showed them around the Grand Pavilion and shared our vision. In response they were positive about the proposals, but made it clear that the competition is quite steep!

 

Particular areas that we need to be attentive to are those of:

·         what we can do to assist education of young people, particularly in the area of heritage,

·         producing a heritage plan for the building,

·         showing much more clearly how we will be working with the other tenants in the building.

 

We will be submitting a proposal shortly, for creating a Heritage Center in the old Tourist Information Centre. This can be created quite quickly; more about this later. We can then move on to the main application, by which will time we will have build up a closer relationship with  the HLF.
