ClubForce Weekend - Thank you

Posted 7th May 2018

With apologies for the lateness of this note I should like to thank everyone who took part over the ClubForce weekend. Those who helped out achieved a terrific amount on three very hot days. We started with a list of 59 jobs to do and by the end we had either completed (or organised) all except about a dozen. The biggest task completed was to tighten the straining wires on all the court perimeter netting and reattach the mesh. The overall improvement is readily noticeable. We also replaced broken tiles on the pavilion, installed the new defibrillator, mended nets and did lots of cleaning and tidying in the pavilion, the hut and around the courts. There are four electrical jobs which will be done shortly too.

During the weekend we identified some potentially worrying issues concerning the old Hut. So we are planning a major investigation into the health of that structure before considering alterations that will give us more space. We may then set aside a further weekend date to carry out some remedial work as well as improvements. And I'll be looking to those who didn't help in April to assist with that, please.

Special thanks are due to Chris and Anne Gurr - who as always bear the lion's share of what is achieved. But many hands make light work so thank you to everyone listed below who contributed - either over that weekend or the previous one.
