From Part 1 of the divide, it would appear that a chairman, Mr A Renwick, of a charity, NEMT, is running it as a private group, and apart from 2 different versions of the NEMT AGM of 2023, that I recieved from another of NFHT’s Trustees for discussion, I have not seen the Minutes of any of their AGMs since the one held in 2018.
At that meeting it was noted that: Our close association with the NFHT, was referred to with Martin Wilson suggesting a long-term amalgamation might be a good idea. Amalgamation was not practical but it appears that he was unaware that the two trusts had been working as one since at least 2015. More importantly Phil Smith was replaced as a Trustee of NEMT by Mr Renwick.
The minutes of the 2019 AGM do not appear to have been broadcast but by 2023 the Trustees were himself, Sue Griffiths, Keith Barnard, Alex Finnegan and Guy Linkleter and of the minutes of 2022 AGM, he wrote on the 6th of January 2023 he wrote:-
In reference to you request for the November minutes.There is currently a concern about the accuracy of the transcript.
As is usual minutes cannot be made public until agreed and approved by the board of directors
What he did not know was that I had blind copied my objection to the intended fraud made on January the 6th, to the Trustees of NEMT and they let me know that Mr Renwick had given a different response to them and the Trustees of NEMT than he had given me.

| 6-Jan | MD-AR at 17:15 – Objection to proposed Fraud AR-MD at 20:49 – Response to proposed Fraud |
| 7-Jan | Email AR to NEMT Trustees, passed to MD by Chair of NFHT |
On the 6th of January 2023, he added to his note about the missing minutes from the November meeting:-
Further to your slanderous accusations.
Please supply the evidence you use to form these beliefs.
Please be aware that should any more deflamatory allegations be made we will take advice with a view to legal action.
There were no slanderous accusations and definitely no defamatory allegation as all the evidence was contained in the Objection-to-the-proposal-by-the-charity-NEMT.
A daylater he delivered a highly personal attack on myself to the Trustees of both NEMT and NFHT. He did not include me as the author of the Objection who was at that time a Trustee of NFHT.
Dear NEMT Trustee’s,
Please find the following attached by Mick Dawson an NFHT director, most of you will not know him.
However apart from more aggressive, personalised emails to me, which I find objectionable. This is the only communication by anyone relative to the ‘Proposal’ to NFHT received so far (in response to replies requested within 7 days prior to the next NEMT meeting)
Re the email of the 6th:- the evidence was the Objection and re the Email of the 7th, the first statement was doubtful but to tell the Trustees that I had sent him aggressive, personal emails was an outright lie and thankfully the Trustees of NFHT diplomatically overlooked this when they began to make arrangements for the monies owing started to be made within a few days with the Transcript of the 9th of January.

If you do respond please use alec.renwick@gmail.com., please do not use alec.renwick@nemaritimetrust.org.uk. Critical View of the NEMT Chair’s email of the 18th June. |
The email below explained that I had not stolen the Website because the Chair of NEMT as good as demanded on the 9th of June 2024, that I transfer the website nemaritimetrust.co.uk that I had registered with Nominet in May 2014 under the .co.uk domain name, to one he had created under a different domain name, nemaritimetrust.org.uk, that he had registered with Nominet on the 10th October 2022.
David Parker did respond and that will take us to Part 3 of the divide.
