Update on Club Renovation
September 8, 2010
Dear Members & Guests
Now that the summer is coming to an end we can all look forward to darker evenings and the chance of shooting at the range, now that it is fully finished, painted and spick and span.
As with all these large projects, it has taken time, money and a great deal of effort by some very dedicated members. There will obviously be those who criticise the end results, but this will always be the case. Any members or guests wanting to further improve the facility we have, can offer suggestions at the AGM in November, and hopefully will help the team who undertook the lion’s share of the existing improvements, to further improve our excellent facility.
The ABCD Grant monies were used to improve security and backstop facilities to bring them up to current standards. The insulation, cladding,
carpentry, painting, etc. was funded from members subscriptions and the club bank account (now sadly depleted).
The club roof now needs complete replacement due to its age and the committee have applied for a further grant to fund this, which is a substantial cost. If we get this grant, which will be decided in November, it will be a godsend. If we don’t, we will talk about this at the AGM.
Hope you all had a good summer.
Mark Cooper
Chairman
