  All,
  
  Just reading the string on where the money is to be spent.....Peter has been trying to help understanding I see.
  
  The objects of the Trust in this regard are written in such a way that charitable status can be gained and maintained. No messing. The clear aim is that Dover Town will be the chief beneficiary as it is Dover Town that has to live with the inconvenience of having a major port, however well managed, at its heart and it is Dover Town that appears to have least investment in successful regeneration and war repair. However, we would be total idiots to restrict spending to a very narrow range in our main objects or try and ignore the National interest. Say in 6 years time there is a project that would directly benefit the people of Dover but which lies outside the narrow range defined in our objects....we would be stymied by the limits of our objects and the people here would not get the benefits that would otherwise arise if we were not so restricted.
  
  Perhaps if members here were a little less inclined to cynicism the reasons for the objects being laid out in the way that they are would be recognised as just plain good sense and the application of a logical vision.
