got talking to this chap on saturday up near the grand shaft.
name of john pegg he is the leading light behind the proposed memorial and explained to me the current situation.
i commented that i thought that things had gone on the back burner, apparently not still being worked on behind the scenes.
it seems that once the olympics are over a lot more money will be washing around the heritage lottery fund and john and his organisation are quietly confident of getting the necessary finance.
beside the obvious kudos of having the memorial here, the financial benefits to dover were incredibly high, have to wih him luck in his venture.
