Practice Facility Development
Green 1 laid this week. Massive thanks to all the members who have assisted in the project. This really helps speed up the progress and your work is very much appreciated
Week 3 – view from the bay foundations. 3 green complexes now visable with a 4th going into the banking beside the oak tree 130 yards out. Really starting to take shape. Great work from Oakbank Plant to this stage. Artificial green work will commence in the next fortnight and bay construction in coming week – 10 days.
you’ll see the location of bays & shaping of the greens starting to come together. Ideally by end of week all green complexes will be much more visible. Looking like a great outfield area.
Week one completed of the facility development project. Opened up the outfield visually creating a huge space for play.
Looking back up the facility after the first week has seen groundwork commence. Fingers crossed for good weather timeline for completion end of May/early June.
