The proposed mid-September meeting between the Foundation and the representatives of the new owners of Udney Park has been postponed so there is no real progress to report. Concerns have become heightened that another commercial venture is envisaged as it the BVI-registered company that apparently owns Udney Park changed its name from Rich Creation to Leisure Focus in July 2022. The company is owned by a Mr Wu from the Peoples Republic of China and as things stand his intentions remain opaque.
