Water back on

Thankfully, all the problems we have been having with the water connection have now been resolved.  Ian Potter has kindly fixed the pipes and the toilet block is fully usable again and it is possible to have a brew!  Many thanks to Ian for all his hard work on this.

Great progress has been made with treating all our shelters and there is only a little bit left to do.  Next jobs will be varnishing the away hut by the artificial green and painting the seats, and we will have a groundforce day in due course to sort those out.

Treating new shelters TODAY

The forecast is good so if anyone could come down to assist with treating our new shelters today (Thursday) from 1.30pm please come down.  If you have an old large paintbrush bring it along and (obviously) wear old clothes! We may do some more over the weekend but that will be weather dependant.

Floodlights Update

We have just had confirmation that the floodlights have been ordered and should arrive within 4 weeks.  The light columns have also been ordered. We do not currently have an installation date but watch this space.  The image below shows a similar LED floodlight (albeit mounted on a ceiling). This will be a further major step forward for our club on our journey to be the best bowling club in the Universe!  floodlight
