Here we go again, let try to save that one.
any suggestion on how to prepare ourself
the wall is safe to climb
enough monthly customer to pay the bill
local climber love it
children too
climbing wall history
very low accident case
provide activity for group
etc etc..
nothing wrong with it, just at the wrong place now. GLL leased the building to someone, and they dont want the climbing wall there.
Its just the start of the story
any sugestion?

pascal I can't believe it - first brixton and now this - what's going on! Get the local MP involved - write to Boris J, and we'll come down and chain ourselves to the wall - seriously get meetings with the head of the centre, the leader of the council and get local councillers on board. You can't lose Xstal Palace as well as Bxton!!!
