Title: harrow closing - LAST JAM.....
Post by: Philbert on June 07, 2008, 12:12 PM
just got off the phone with james hitchcox and he'd told me about harrow losing its long battle with stopping the diggers moving in,

a planned final jam is hopefully going to be held on 12th july!

i think it'd be good to see as many rad members there as possible as most of you old boys were there at its birth, you might as well be there at its end

That's a real shame, would love to be there as I went to the second day of opening of the skatepark in its Solid Surf days back in 1977.  RIP Solid Surf, still the Harrow Boyz will live on  :daumenhoch:.

Nope, Harrow Council want to demolish the Leisure Centre and Skatepark, build a smaller leisure centre and wanky steel skatepark and build houses on what's left.

Post by: TwoBobRob on June 15, 2008, 11:06 PM
Well, yes and no really....

I have a little spare room, but it's reserved for Flatcap at the moment.

Premier Inn at the bottom of the road if you can get someone to share with.  Drag Laz down with you maybe?  :)

Harrow is a cool place!  and Dave those pictures are RAD as fook!!!   :4_17_5:

Phil, did James mention anything about the plans for the new park?  when we were chatting to him at the Old Fools trip he was telling us about the 'proposed' plans and they sounded awsome!  but like he said, they may change their minds due to finances??   :-\
