KEY POINTS:
The Bluff Community Charitable Trust is offering to buy the Paua Shell House and keep it in Bluff.
The future of the late Fred and Myrtle Flutey's home is in doubt after it was reported this month that the owner, their grandson Ross Bowen, had decided to give the paua collection to Canterbury Museum on extended loan.
The trust has not yet had a response from Mr Bowen.
