Vintage Car Rally at Chiltern Open Air Museum

I love Chiltern Open Air Museum - COAM. I was invited there today as part of a 30year special celebration and fund raiser. It is such an amazing place and I am involved in a project that is very exciting at the open air museum.

Here is how COAM describe what they are doing:

Vernacular buildings - the houses and workplaces of past generations - are disappearing every day from the landscape. In the Chilterns, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on London's doorstep, the pressures are particularly great. Chiltern Open Air Museum preserves and interprets the built heritage of the Chilterns that would otherwise be lost.

The Museum was founded in 1976, with the aim of rescuing threatened buildings and re-erecting them on our forty-five acre site of natural park, meadow and woodland, thereby preserving a variety of structures of historical or vernacular interest which are typical of the region.

My father's recording studio - "Jackson Music Recording studio" (which was originally used and owned by my Grandfather - Jack Jackson - "The GrandDaddy of all DJ's". The building was also found to be of great historical interest so a local benefactor paid for it to be deconstructed brick by brick. The bricks have been neatly stored, each one numbered waiting to be reconstructed. The building was listed in the dooms day book so is of great interest aside from its rock n roll career. My goal is to raise a serious amout of cash (a cool half a mill) to reinstate the building and return it to it's former glory. Incredible iconic rock bands have recorded in Jackson studios so I would love to get the building rebuilt, new music recorded in it, live music played in it and the history of the studios preserved.
Currently hatching a plan to facilitate this - All things are possible!
