No its becasue they barely exist in this country, also to climb you need lots of time and a bit of money most people in this country who would truly qualify as working class simply wouln't have this.
> Studying Geography at college?! The most likely reuse scenario for this land is to build expensive housing
Im studying geography at school yes; nut brownfield/greenfield sites are on the news all the time most will get taught about them in primary school.
I think if you read my post properly youll find that i said if this were the case i wouldn't sign the petition not that it was the most likely scenario! my point is the report doesn't say this the use could be anything from a casino to a hospital for orphans.
> As mentioned before this is a private training facility like many other around the country, it just so happens that the best climbers this country has produced trained at this one.
Yes i wasn't condemming it! i would still sign the petition if only font8a climbers and above were allowed in as it helps fellow climbers (as long as if wasnt been cleared for good reason). Is merely a suggestion to gain more support for it maybe opening the potential members from 30 upwards may make the 'middle-class punters' feel more included and sign.
The lesson to be learned here is read the post properly before you answer, much of this seems unnecssary if youd have read thouroughly
