Working Party - August 6, 2000


Once again on a typical sunny Wellington day, hearty souls descended on Wellington College to do battle with the decaying remnants of the old Gifford Observatory structure.

A sad sight but now accessible The grounds are already looking better

The completed Observatory will have a commanding view.

The old floor The Western horizon

Stopping only briefly for necessary refreshment most generously provided and served by Marilyn (although again nobody thought to bring beer) the old building was cleaned out to allow construction work to start.

Down it comes Ready for construction  Ready for construction Remnants of a proud history
