The Abbotsford Coach House Appeal

 

Sharpe's Coach

 

A drinks reception for more information on the Appeal was held on Tuesday 19 February and was a fantastic success. Thank you to all those who attended.

 

At the request of the University, the Kate Kennedy Club's two procession coaches, Kate's Victoria and Archbishop Sharp's Travelling Coach, are to be moved from their present home in the University Hall Garage, to the Abbotsford Coach House, behind McIntosh Hall. In order that the Abbotsford Coach House be ready for use, significant work to the interior must be carried out, at cost. The Kate Kennedy Trust (owner of both coaches) is appealing for donations from all members of town and gown, such that the work may be carried out and the procession allowed to continue.
