Message to all Shareholders –

I am pleased to advise you that I have been co-opted to be responsible for ‘shareholder liaison’. I will be responsible for a number of activities but I will also provide a conduit for your comments, ideas and criticisms, all of which will be treated in the strictest of confidence. You may email me on shareholders@nlcp.ltd.

We are now 2 months into our exciting new village venture the ‘NEW INN’. I am pleased to report that progress to date has been very positive and in particular trading is ahead of the budget set out in our business plan. Nonetheless challenges remain, not least in our efforts to open a village shop although we hope these will soon be overcome.

In the meantime we look forward to your continued support.

Michael Killeen
