With just a couple of days to go before we officially re-open, we have a few minutes to reflect how much we have achieved to get to this point.
Our main achievement has been the installation of our new playing surface but did that go smoothly? In preparation for the new carpet, we needed to assess the condition of the side and back boards. The car park side boards were seen to be rotten, mainly because water has been getting under the foundations for probably years. They all had to be replaced. Then we looked at the back boards and many of them were smashed probably due to Paco’s (and others’) overzealous firing. Again these were replaced by our own A-Team of volunteers at minimal expense.
