5th Feb 2023. Many club members will be aware of the work taking place in the clubhouse. The dining/function area has been in need of serious refurbishment for some time. Work on the new ceiling and lighting is ready for completion. In the process of completing this work it became obvious that now is the time to properly upgrade an embarrassing area of the clubhouse. The Committee of Management has approved a recommendation to extend the work to complete a full upgrade of the function room. This will include new plumbing and radiators, a new floor and new windows. This work will need to proceed as quickly as possible. A funding and explanatory meeting will take place in the bar on this coming Thursday night 9th Feb at 7.30 pm. Some members have already agreed to financially support the work and more funding may be required. All question will be answered and all interested members are invited to attend.
