Work is well underway to open our new centre in Stoke.
If all goes according to plan we'll be open in early March 2010.

Check out the Blog for more info and photos. http://www.awesomewalls.co.uk/Stoke.html

Looking sweet AND it's on my commute :thumbsup: - I think you might be taking some of my money..

Any training facilities planned - campus board, system board, fingerboards, weights?

Cheers, Matthew

Looking good. Only downside is that us Staffs Lads won't really have any excuses anymore!

Is the decor inspired by early Anasazi Art (and I don't mean the pink ones).

I think the primary influences were Sesame Street and LSD.

Facilities look great though, aesthetic hate crimes aside

That funny little corner thingy? Not the best woodie I've ever seen. But that roof looks fab. I bet Crouchie is just itching to make life size mock-ups of his latest cave project  ;)

I really hope that Rich isn't allowed anywhere near the problem setting at that wall.  Or at least someone moderates his setting by maybe thinking about footholds once in a while.

Went to the grand opening today and loved it - the big roof is amazing and the training section is great.

Well done Dave D!

Would look awesome if one only had black and white vision  :(

But great that you've opened a wall on Stoke, very much needed.#

Now can someone do the same in Glasgow please, Glasgow Works would be nice ;)
