Guys,
I passed close by the Checker Board yesterday, it's looking very sad. I remember a thread perhaps 5 years ago where one of our merry band was trying to get a team together to 'renovate' it, but was stonewalled by bureaucracy. Is the originator of that thread still on these boards?
I am in contact with a friendly LegCo member (ex-CX) who is going to have a go at getting permission at a political level, citing Hong Kong heritage as a case for getting the job done.
If it gets the go-ahead, we will be looking for volunteers, preferably with real rock-climbing experience (its almost vertical) and donations to buy paint (I know these are hard times), the thing is bloody huge!
