February, March and April 2004
So, as items on the list were taken out (sometimes with the help of the Beaven's), the Wright's naturally assumed the changeover would go ahead and the rest of the items would be concluded very soon. After a weekend visit by the Wright's to pick up more items (such as punch bags, fridge, stereo system, etc) Andy Wright found out that the front door locks had been changed once again, when he revisited during the week to collect more stuff. He asked a work colleague to come with him and check that the lock had been changed because he was not totally sure and thought his key was defective. The colleague confirmed the key would not work in the door.
During conversations with their solicitor, the Wright's were advised that if the atmosphere was unbearable they should stay away from the business. They were also advised the key situation was a stale mate. The solicitor's advice was to break in and take the outstanding items (x25 Mats etc), but Andy was not prepared nor able to do this. So the Wright's had to resign themselves to having access only when the Beaven's were present.
Towards the end of March 2004, becoming more frustrated by the lack of progress, Andy asked Helen when the liability for the loan would be transferred, and the cash and mats could be collected.
He was told in no uncertain terms they had no intention of going ahead with the plan. Asked for a new key to the door, he was told by Helen: "no chance, if you want to come in, you can come when we're here".

The Sad Demise of....
During April the Beaven's had a security camera installed and for a few weeks all of the Mats were moved off-site, to prevent them from being taken. The front of the building had a full width net curtain to prevent seeing in, although it was possible to do so.
Then, friday 30th April 2004, Andy and Marisa Wright had arranged for a Police presence while they attended the centre with a van in order to collect company property, following a written revelation from Helen in a letter from her Solicitor: "we have no further interest in the company....". A letter from Andy's Solicitor was sufficient to warrant a Police escort.
