Been talking some more with MCD Architects and they are 95% through the plans, just a couple of engineers to talk to and we’ll have our plans submitted to CCC for building consent. So I guess we’re getting to a critical stage where we’ll be starting the exciting task of DEMOLITION and then moving onto construction. Anthony Wheeler has got the draft plans into Placemakers who are costing up the construction bits of it all. Once we’ve got those back we’ll have an idea of what we don’t have lined up. One of the big things we don’t know anyone in the industry is the air conditioning, so if you know someone in the aircon industry refer them onto our website!
On the fundraising side of things, we’ll be rolling out a bunch of iniatives over the next few weeks including an 0900 number for donations, a White Elephant Sale (sounds pretty obvious, why didn’t we do this earlier??) And taking on an idea of one of the founding Trustees Tom Cosm where we’ll be auctioning off space on each of our doors where your name can be forever engraved on that door! More details to come….
WE-HQ OPEN NIGHT
We’ll be running an open night on Tuesday 24th March 6:00pm for anyone who wants to drop in and check out what we’re up to with the plans and see the space in its current form. All welcome, bring your friends!!
We’ve also changed our weekly WE-HQ development meetings to Tuesdays 6pm @ WE-HQ (L1, 1 Bedford Row), so if you’re reading this and have something you’d like to contribute to our meeting in any way then pop on by!
