Wartime tunnels
- 11 March 2011 17:0796520we are all aware of the work going on up at the castle to revitalise the above.
members may be interested to know that there is a public meeting at st mary's parish centre on monday march 21 at 7.30 pm when the english heritage head of visitor operation one deborah newman will be giving a talk.
the tunnels are scheduled to reopen in june. - 11 March 2011 17:2096524Thanks Howard.
Brave of an EH manager to put their head over the parapet given the upcoming redundancies. I expect that the Q&A session may be a little charged. Maybe I'm a little cynical but is this just a case of sugaring the pill?
I'm sure the new tunnels will look excellent, but I'm hardly minded to hand over £16 to an organisation that will be laying off friends and colleagues. - 11 March 2011 17:3596529i didn't see anything about a question and answer session phil, no doubt there will not be "enough time" for one.
- 11 March 2011 18:3696546Bad reporting by whatever paper it was, I cannot remember!!
This is a Dover Society meeting, not a public meeting, that has been booked for quite some time, but yes the Q&A may be interesting
Been nice knowing you :) - 11 March 2011 18:4396547Oh, OK! I'd like to go, so thanks for the heads-up about this.
- 11 March 2011 18:4596549but the question now is whether it is open to the public.
one our members pat sherratt is a member of the dover society, i feel sure he will raise the issue of cuts. - 11 March 2011 18:5196551Yes, I hope it is open to the public Howard as you started a thread on it!
DS used to regularly hold talks and anyone could go, but one might have to pay just a bit more entrance fee. The Dover Society is only £6 a year - that's just two pints to alcoholics like me - so it's probably worth joining anyway.

Knowing a purely non-political thread is like hen's teeth on this forum, I thought I would bite the bullet and chuck my oar in too. Drawing your attention to the above link, it looks like Charlie is booked too in April. - 11 March 2011 19:0696557Thanks for the reminder Howard, I thought it was 21st of last month and I'd missed it!
