Thank You

RETURN TO NEWS INDEX RETURN TO LAUNCH DAY

A project like this doesn't happen without the involvement of a lot of people and organizations:

Nick Martin, builder and landowner, who provided much of the ideas, inspiration & perseverance.

Robert & Brenda Vale, the architects added their expertise in green architecture.

Support from David Pickles and others in Newark & Sherwood District Council.

The British Earth Sheltering Association for all their encouragement in the early days.

Past project members: Mike, Penny, Steve & Madeleine-who contributed considerably to the early formative stages of HHP.

David Olivier for information and exchange of ideas.

Gil Shalom for artwork.

To family, friends and members of the general public for their support and enthusiasm - in particular Roy & Eileen Martin for their unstinting support and encouragement - also for their practical contributions, not least the planting of most of the 4,000 trees over the last few years and the care of the animals.

The suppliers who provided the materials, technology and services to enable the project to be put together.

Finally, our friends in the media for their interest in their reporting -especially Marie Ashby & Roger Jepson (Central TV), Mark Shardlow (Local BBC), Vie Piuk (Newark Advertiser) & Helen Ward (Nottingham Evening Post.) It is with their help that others have learnt about the project and perhaps been inspired to find their own environmental solutions.
