More Walk Through Information

Hey Folks

I have been given some more information on the walk through event - please read below:

Because of the huge logistical challenge with getting thousands of people on and off site quickly and safely, there has been delays in releasing ticket sales and for that we can only apologise. We assure you that you will be notified in advance of the exact date of ticket sales. This will give details of where and when you can purchase tickets and we thank you for your patience during this time.

Tickets are priced at £6 for adults and £3 for children under 16. The cost will cover all parking charges and the shuttle bus ride to and from the tunnel site from your choice of 9 venues in the local area. You will be asked to choose your preferred time and venue at the time of booking.

All profits will go to a new fund to specifically benefit the communites around the tunnel area. For more information please see www.communityfoundationsurrey.org.uk

Also going into the fund will be all the monies raised from the Grand Draw Prize. Tickets for the draw will be available at various outlets in the towns and villages and prizes include being in the first VIP group to walk into the tunnel on the day!

So there we go folks a little more info for you. Once I am told the booking website is up and running I'll put the link on here.

Also I am going to be asking for your help during the walk through. I am goign to be taking plenty of photo's from inside the tunnel on the day itself but really want you guys to send in yours as well. Lets try and get some nice photo's and also some quirky photo's as well. I might even have a little prize for the best photo so keep your eyes peeled!

Keep on diggin..........

Walk Through Information

Hey guys and gals

Good news!!!! I have the walk through information I have been promising you. If I'm honest I've had it a few days but only got round to putting up here!!. Please see below:

As we all know the planned date for the walk through is 14th May 2011. Due to the nature of where the tunnel is located and for health and safety reasons there will be 10 park and ride venues situated at various locations including Haslemere, Liphook, Milford, Thursley amongst others. It will be necessary to book a time for your park and ride slot. Nobody will be allowed into the tunnel without a ticket! More details on this to follow.

With regards to the ticket prices this is currently under review due to the budget cuts imposed by the government. The Hindhead Together team is working very hard to keep these costs as low as possible and I will publish more information about the prices and how to book around the end of march. The cost will cover your entrance into the tunnel and your park and ride fare.

It will be well worth every penny as I know full well from going into the tunnel in February 2009 seeing how amazing it was then!

All funds that are raised, after costs have been covered, will go into the Hindhead Community Fund. Local groups, charities and other organisations can then apply for grants from this fund which not only helps out local organisations and worthwhile causes but also contributes back into the local area

Trust me folks this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and will be a brilliant event and worth every second.

Of course as i soon as i have more information i shall post it on here but if you have any questions or comments please keep sending them in, until then...

Red Robbo went out last weekend although it looks very cold and wet out there.

He took some really good photo's of the Northern end. It's good because things are progressing very quickly now and every time you go it has changed.

Well done Red Robbo!!!!

Museum Exhibition

Hey everyone,

Hope we are well and enjoying the little bit of sunshine today, lets hope it stays for my birthday tomorrow!!!

I have been made aware of something quiet exciting which I think you all need to know about. As some of you will be aware their was an exhibition at Haslemere museum asked Balfour to do a display to mark the halfway mark of the works, well there is going to be another one.

The exhibition will run until the 12th March and as always entry is free although the museum does ask for donations, which is really worthwhile to help keep this local attraction going. It will be displaying all the works from start to current through pictures and photo's and will be well worth a look just to see what has actually gone on and how much work and effort has gone in to improve all our lives.

So go along and have a good look as their really is not that long left in the whole project so don't be the one that misses out!

If you have any questions then feel free to email me and i'll seek you answers!

Keep on diggin..........
