The recent news about the paving bricks for £50 at Alton has given me an idea, which could be more useful than the bricks currently on offer. Obviously, this could depend on Alton Towers actually allowing us to provide them with a good quality bench within their premises. No contact has currently been made at this point.
The general idea is that we as a website community club together to provide a very good quality bench to be placed somewhere (to be decided along the way and in the future) in the Alton Towers theme park (my choice would be around the actual Towers or in the Gardens somewhere, but it could be somewhere special for someone else?).
The bench will feature a nice large metal plaque explaining that it has been provided by the members of the TowersStreet website for the pleasure of all future visitors of Alton Towers (or something similar).
As I mentioned in another thread, I'll happily put down £20 to start things off and I'll be happy to take control of this if people actually want to take things forward. Obviously, if there is not too much interest, we can leave it.
Good quality benches could cost anything between 100-400 in our range, so if anyone spots one anywhere, shout up. Maybe someone knows a local tradesman that could sort out a deal? Maybe someone knows where Towers got their last load of benches from and can enquire? We could probably sort this out for £200 or something completed by using some contacts?
Shall we do something that lasts?
