Demolition Ball with a difference…

Demolition Ball 2 in aid of the Princes Trust.

It’s Friday afternoon (in the UK at least); the phones have gone quiet; the emails are slowing down; and the only sound is one of gentle dog snoring from this corner of Demolition News Towers. What better time for a spot of glitter ball frivolity?

We’ve just heard word of a charitable event that is scheduled to take place in Newcastle on 12 March 2011; and, given the theme and the fact that it’s in aid of the Prince’s Trust, we thought we’d give it a mention.

The event is organised and hosted by a construction company – Meldrum Construction Services – but will follow a demolition them, as the company’s Margaret Dowe explains. “There is an ice breaker hit and miss game that involves videos of demolitions; we bring along hi viz vests and hard hats for the games that include a human hamster ball that knocks down inflatable pins bearing pictures of what we deem ‘ugly’ buildings.”
