    We need to tread a bit carefully here, chaps, because the people that own the building are helping the DTSGB in no small measure by letting them have it rent-free, and we've no wish to offend them. As is usual in charity situations, those that do contribute could, rightly, feel unfairly regarded if we go on a broad-based offensive.

    For the time being, can we concentrate on assessing the situation on a practical level until we've met with the DTSGB and we truly know what's what.

    That meeting is being sorted as we speak and once I know when it will take place, I'll be rounding up a posse!

    Another avenue you could look down for planning and labour is the Army Royal Engineers, this would be a good little project for a troop from a Construction Squadron...if they still have them.

    They have all the gear

    As I said; I'm only about 7 minutes from the hospital, Tel. I'll be pleased to offer whatever skills I can offer. I did 3 years at college learning plastering, but I've also spent a total of about 5 years 'in the building' as a school leaver.

    Awaiting your direction, Sir!

    I don't think I can supply any useful building materials, unless 1,000 tons of chestnut poles will help, but I am able to supply a decent computer if they need one.

    I honestly think we need people of various trades to go and assess the situation and make an inventory etc. I will try and womble as much electrical 'gear' as possible. Would you be able to give me a diagram of the building(s) etc. if you may Mr Doe?

    I'll be there.

    Terry, can you give me the entrance number and route to take to get there, mate? Give me a call if you want.
