hey there,
we (east anglian and surrounding area folk) need your help.
not sure how many of you's will know but SNOASIS is currently going through the works to get approved(or disapproved as the case may be, ugh).
this is the last post on scuk about it when it got stuck back in feb:
http://www.snowboardclub.co.uk/news-greatblakenham.html
It's gonna be a mega indoor entertainment facility with an indoor slope, with bars and restaurants and loads more, i think you get my drift 
The closest one for me and my mates is MK and it takes us 3 hours to get there. So we are going mental about helping in any way to get this through.
If you wanna check out the support already and you've got a facebook check out the group "snoasis, snowdome, Bring it on.."
So please help us out and register your interest so that they can see it's a really worthwhile thing to do:
otherwise the site is www.snoasis.co.uk
p.s. i am partial to bribery, so if anyone heads down to MK then I'll buy you a beer in turn for support!!!  |

Same for me . They were going to build one at the metro centre (gateshead/newcastle) but then they said it was easy for us to get to castleford !!! PFFT .
It's a good 1.30hours for me in car and longer on train |

I live essex/suffolk border so Snoasis if it goes ahead will only be so close to me so count on my support.
Your'e right it's the drive back from MK after a session thats evil. Was up there during day on monday trying out a new board and thought I'd be clever drive back cross country give motorways a miss.........nightmare  |

Know what you mean - I'm still recovering from going to Tam last weekend - left there at about 2/230am, got back at 530am, played cricket that afternoon - now still totally dead! Despite it being the closest, I haven't actually been to MK for over a year!
It would be awesome to have Snoasis there - would mean that I wouldn't have to kill myself to get on the slopes! |

And that's the worst thing getting to MK from Norfolk, past Cambridge there aren't any motorways anyway! Just a crawl through the Cambs and Beds countryside - delightful! |

I will happily buy a pint for anyone who can sort out a snowslope for mere mortals on the south coast near brighton we do not have much in the way of slopes. warmwell 2hrs 30, southampton 1hr 30 and a lovely bit of felt called Knockhatch that has gotta be the worst dryslope experience i have eever had. Although the staff were ace. and no sign of snow anywhere.
i moved from the northwest for a job about a year ago (after waiting 5 years for a manchester slope) there i was spoilt for dry and indoor facilitys now im in the dryslope desert of sussex.
Rich people please help by building a lovely slope near me, there is a nice empty patch of hillside at the end of my road that would be spot on. |

I'll join the facebook clan. Anything to get a snow dome closer to Kent!!
Shame there are no plans for one this side of the M25, that would make my life much easier
Edit for my dodgy spelling |

| just looking on google maps - apparently Snoasis would only be 4miles closer to you than MK. There's an interesting fact. And yes I am bored at work! |
