FUTURE PLANS
All the
Cathedral clergy, together with the Archbishop, have agreed to host events in
their homes during the next few months.
Our three
Archdeacons are writing to all Parishes in the Diocese to enlist their support
for the Appeal.
The
Cathedral Choir will be visiting various Churches in the Diocese during the
next few months to promote the Appeal.
You will all
have seen the Appeal leaflet, and we hope will approve of our new logo. We
hope soon to issue another leaflet setting out more details of the scheme to
“Adopt an Organ Pipe”
At present
the sum raised is £290,000 and the deposit for the Organ has been paid.
We will keep you informed as the Appeal progresses.
We hope you will continue to give generously as we need all the help possible
if we are to meet our target by 2010.

VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED
We have made an excellent start to raising the vast sum that is needed to
purchase and build a new organ and preserve the very precious musical heritage
of Llandaff Cathedral for future generations. To achieve our goals the appeal
now has to be widened not only to the general public but to the commercial and
industrial communities in Cardiff. In addition we wish to involve the larger
quoted companies with particular emphasis on companies with Welsh interests.
As an example we received support for the launch from McCarthy & Stone which
is a group engaged in the development, design and construction of retirement
apartments and which has recently completed the building of Pritchard Court on
the site of the old Hendre in Cardiff Road.
Before embarking on this next phase a great deal of research will need to be
done and this is the area where your help will be greatly needed, valued and
appreciated. Research is an interesting occupation and there are several tools
at our disposal where the information that is needed can be obtained. Public
Libraries, Telephone Directories, Electoral Rolls, Companies House and of
course the internet are some of the sources.
WE NEED YOUR HELP and volunteers of all ages are required.
The older generation will bring their expertise and experience, while families
may wish to take on one of the smaller projects which might give an
educational benefit to the younger members. The work will be interesting and
you will have the great satisfaction of having played an important role in
this exciting and challenging project.
If you are interested please contact me on 2055 5431 or Michael Turk at the
Cathedral Office.
