John Bloom letter to shul members with final accounts
6th May 2002
Dear Member,
At last I am in a position to confirm that the final accounts have been approved by the Charity Commissioners and that the current registration as a charity was cancelled as from 10th April 2002. As promised I enclose a summary of the accounts, showing a realisation of the assets and the agreed charitable payments.
When I wrote to you last August I gave you the names and telephone numbers of Messrs Lewis and Sterrie of the Newcastle Chevra Kadisha. I omitted to give the name and address of the secretary of the Representative Council of North East Jewry to whom draft wording on tombstones should be submitted. He is David Gold 1/2 Lansdowne Terrace East, Gosforth, NE3 1HL; tel no 0191 246 4000.
In addition you may like to have the names and addresses of the local undertakers and monumental masons which are as follows;
Relphs Undertakers, 43 Kings Road, North Ormesby; tel no 01642 246925 or 457113
Lords Monumental Works, St Barnabas Road, Middlesbrough, Cleveland, TS5 6BA; tel no 01642 817303.
When I last wrote I had suggested that you should regard me as your first point of contact. Unfortunately this will no longer be possible as I have been quite ill since September. It seems unlikely that there will be any immediate improvement.
Finally can I remind you that the consecration of Lionel Simon’s tombstone will take place at Middlesbrough Cemetery on 16th June 2002 at 2.00pm.
Yours sincerely,
John Bloom
