The Club sign has been temporarily removed and the brickwork has been cut out to fit the three large additional windows which are due to be delivered next week. The new portacabin next to the Clubhouse has had the SBH cardio-vascular equipment moved into it and it will also be used as a lecture room for the Middlesex University students taking Sports Science degrees. We are told by the contractors that the works will probably take a further 2 weeks, which includes the redecoration. We are still waiting for the estimate for the works to the roof.
