A free information pack with posters, balloons and badges will be provided for each party. Proceeds will be split equally between the Red Cross and the Alliance, which will use its share to benefit children and families experiencing hardship. Discounted rates are available for groups booking through their Winchester office. We are delighted that we have the opportunity of enhancing and developing the support we provide. We believe that this work is of great importance to ensure children and families gain maximum benefit in the pre-school years.
Parties are the best possible way to launch the project.
Further details of the party packs and the Marwell day may be obtained from Lisa, 01962-840633. Nearly 16,000 cubic metres of chalk has been excavated from the main area to provide the foundations and the lower floors of the new complex which will house a planetarium, a lecture theatre, classrooms, an equipment library and 150 interactive science and technology exhibits. More than 11,000 tons of concrete and steel have been used to create the ground level floor. An elaborate network of aluminium struts was needed to support the structure while the concrete set. Work begins soon on the pyramid-style upper floors clad in glass which will stand 16 metres high, creating a striking landmark on the approach to Winchester.
