Pighills Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 Thanks for posting the news item, it's close to me so I shall definitely be visiting. What a shame though, they say it will open in June 2014, I would have thought hanging on a few more weeks until the August would have been more fitting.

bruce Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 Whilst agreeing that the timing of the opening might have been better, delighted to see some of the HLF being properly used! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 No problem with the timing Kim, a June opening allows 2 extra months worth of visitors at the height of the tourist season, it also means, possibly more importantly that organised School visits can be made prior to their summer holidays In August!

Pighills Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 Equally, school visits and tourists can still go in September. I don't suppose for one moment (and hope to god, considering the money being spent on it) that it will only be open for a short while. I still say an August opening would have been more appropriate.

David_Underdown Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 Whilst we didn't get completely involved until August, the unpleasantess did start with some sort of terrorist incident in Sarajevo on 28 June didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pighills Posted 9 July , 2013 Share Posted 9 July , 2013 If people were going to be truly pedantic about it, I'm sure some could come up with other reasons and with earlier dates. It just makes sense to be August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
