Since the report on capital projects in last weeks newsletter, the Bishops estate has remained a hive of activity around maintenance and constructional improvements. Excessive tree branches are being felled, the reservoir is receiving a roof to reduce evaporation, and the Music Director, Mark Mitchell, is installing a restored Victorian doorbell with pull chain at The Lodge.
It makes one realise how much maintenance actually happened whilst we were all off on holidays during our time at school.
ODs will appreciate the sense of cost involved in keeping this maintenance up. It is lovely to showcase a beautiful campus during term time, and now one understands how much maintenance actually goes on once everyone has 'left'.
This presents ODs with a great oppertunity to thank the school for all the great facilities available for use during their time at school. Consider saying 'Thank You' by making a contribution to The Bishops Trust Capital projects component. It will make a difference!
