So last year CWG hosted an open evening at the Newfoundland construction site, that myself, Mr Cladding and a few other SSC forumers attended.
During the evening one of the Directors made us aware that he had knowledge of the forum, and was pleased that many people were taking an active interest in the development. During a conversation, he mentioned that he would be more than happy to host a tour for a group of us from the website, if the demand was there, at some point next year when the project had further progressed.
Now they are currently planning to host another open evening similar I would think to the one held last year on a weekday. If we would like to however, we could have a tour on a weekend which would possibly be a better fit for people to come down and visit, particularly for those who may not live locally enough to make it after work. The evening last year was very informative and was seemingly promoted to local residents who were potentially affected by the development. So, as a group of enthusiasts, there is the potential for a more personalised/informed full tour of the site.
Anyway, I have been in touch with the Director and he was enquiring to the number of people who would be interested. Mainly to assess whether there would be a decent turnout to justify bringing in a few extra staff on the weekend or if the weekend managers would be able to cover the number of people wanting to visit.
So if you are interested in a more personalised tour around the construction site Please leave a comment in this thread, saying 'Im in'/'Interested' whatever and whether you would prefer a weekday evening or a weekend visit. I'll leave this thread for about a week or two and see what the interest is like, and then feed it back to him, and then follow up.
Not in London atm, but with enough I could perhaps arrange to be, and I have been meaning to come up to catch up on the skyline progress photography thing anyway. so, tentatively interested
I'm just an idiot with a camera, but if they're willing to bring me in on the ride, I'd be willing to turn up, though my schedule is crazy unpredictable.
