We have received planning approval for the proposed work
according to the
Trafford web site which is very good news. The Invitations to
Tender were sent out on time (Wednesday 5th January) to 5
contractors who must reply by the 25th January. It
will only be possible to see what we can achieve for our budget at that
time.
The proposed work includes most of the
items discussed at the EGM. For structural reasons it was not
possible to remove the wall between the tea room and the new extension.
Similarly it was not possible to remove the two posts in the tea
room supporting the viewing gallery. It also proved to be very
difficult and time consuming to reduce the number of posts from two to
one. So that has not been included. The overall layout of the
changing rooms and toilets remain unchanged. The proposed heating
system is to retain the gas fire augmented throughout the clubhouse by
electrical convection heating.
