14 Jul 2016 : Brief Update on the New Clubhouse Project
We are still working hard on the the new Clubhouse project, with the intention of getting a planning submission prepared for September.
We are currently working through floorplan drafts with the architects for a building that will work for us on an operational level, and include spaces for both the Senior and Junior wings of the club. Preliminary surveys have been undertaken, and so the position and orientation of the building, although not yet set in stone, are becoming clearer. As soon as we have a floorplan that can be shared, then we will publish it for eveybody to see.
If all goes as expected, then the clubhouse will occupy an area in the Southwest corner of the site - this will put it next to the Hallmark Stand, extending out beyond the current boundary fence near where the second turnstile is currently located. It isn't yet clear whether the second turnstile will have to be moved, or whether it can stay put - obviously, the main turnstile that we currently use, will have to be re-positioned.
We are also investigating the most cost effective/least disruptive way of getting services to the new site of the clubhouse. Currently the services all run via the existing clubhouse, but obviously that won't work once construction on the West side of Stockham Lane starts, and that building is demolished.
Once the building plans, along with the location, are finalised, then the next step will be to take the project to tender. We expect the construction to start before the end of the upcoming season, which will obviously cause some disruption, but we are hopeful that the bulk of the construction will take place in the 2017 off-season, although we won't be delaying construction if everything else is ready to go.
