\n<\/span>LAMB GUILD UPDATE – JULY 2017\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the recent AGM held at Chancellors on 14th<\/sup> May it was decided to start the process of winding-up the Lamb Guild of Holly Royde. It was agreed that the Lamb Guild\u2019s own accounts should be disposed of by making a grant of \u00a31,500 to MANCENT and donating the remaining money to the Wilmslow Guild in support of their progamme of Residential Courses, an initial \u00a310,000 being transferred as soon as practicable.<\/p>\n

The \u00a31,500 grant to MANCENT has already been paid, but it is necessary to close two of the NS&I Investment Accounts\u00a0 <\/span>to fund the initial \u00a310,000 donation to the Wilmslow Guild. The Albert Bradshaw Award has just been closed to be followed by the Hughes Scholarship Fund. Following this donation the Lamb Guild will have remaining assets of approximately \u00a3 3,950 split between our Barclays Current Account and our General NS&I Investment Account. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The question of the Sybil Lamb Bequest has still to be resolved. I have now obtained a copy of Sybil Lamb\u2019s Will from the Central Probate Registry and, unfortunately, it is clear the money was left to the University rather than to the Lamb Guild, the wording of the second legacy in the will being simply\u00a0 <\/span>\u201c(2) To Holly Royde College\u00a0 <\/span>Withington \u00a0 <\/span>Manchester the sum of TWO THOUSAND POUNDS<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>(\u00a32,000,)\u201d. We have the late Professor R D Waller to thank for the income from this \u201cbequest\u201d being used for the benefit of the Lamb Guild for forty years!<\/p>\n

As the University appears to have little documentation on the Sybil Lamb Bequest I have forwarded them a dossier including my summary of R D Waller\u2019s Residential\u00a0 <\/span>College booklet and Sybil Lamb\u2019s will. Their response is awaited.<\/p>\n
