SUPPLEMENTARY SUMMER SERVICING!

SUPPLEMENTARY SUMMER SERVICING!

Philippa Messenger21 Jul 2020 - 18:41

Happy helpers’ heroics!

Another Saturday saw another working party down at the club.

We had all 4 Hoggs, Phil Lott, Kevin Manning and Derrick Lott helping out with weeding both on and off the pitch.

JB and Mitch have built a new shelter for our new generator kindly donated by Darren Skinner. They also helped set up shelves and storage units in the cafe/tuck shop container.

We had Ruth & James Sealey, Sam Chapman, Gemma Baugh & Chris, Gibo, Dazza & Jade, Phil Cundy, Alice Gisbourne, Mike Douglas, Nick Park, Steve Smith, Ian Swinyard all filling holes in the car park. This has been a mammoth task, so please drive slowly when you do enter the car park so you don't undo all their hard work!

Charlie Goodchild was our odd job man completing a number of tasks for us.

And then we had our cleaning group who cleared out the the left hand side container, cleaned it and everything in it - thanks to Joe Edwards, Becks, Siobhain Fernandes, Hannah Hay, Anna Holden, Abi Brooks, Alana, JGJ, Krissy, Clara and Hattie Miles for your hard work.

We have had a George Foreman donated as well as some shelving units. We have been able to use the shelves for storing stock for the tuck shop/cafe and have used lockers from the containers as storage for first aid and kit. We have also had a lot of the shelves and units in the cafe/tuck shop donated from KJ's yard. Thanks you to all who have donated items so far.

Things are starting to look very organised and smart!

However, jobs are never done and we still need donations to make this all work! Our current wish list (can you help donate):-

  • dust pan and brush - for keeping the containers clean
  • honesty box - for collecting money from the cafe/tuck shop when it is unmanned
  • breeze blocks or bricks - we need 8 breeze blocks or equivalent in bricks to prop up our water storage containers in the cafe/tuck shop
  • lino flooring - we need to replace the floor in the left hand container as it is rippled and a potential hazard. We need a piece measuring 230 x 600cm
  • paving slabs - we are planning on building a path round to the far side of the pitch for a seating area (from the car park end) - do you have any paving slabs lying around unused, or seen some on social media that you could bring down to the club for us to use?
  • 2x2 bits of wood
  • line marking paint - we would like to mark out parking bays in the car park so we can get in as many cars as possible on busy days especially.

If you can help with any donations please get in touch with Vice-Chair Jen CG on j.cornelius1@ntlworld.com or 07789 276236
