Lots happening at the clubhouse lately. The roof repairs have been completed which means the solar panels can be re-installed on the roof.

Major clean out and clean up both inside and out of the club house. Exterior painting is in progress. The painting crew today included Ashleigh, Ken, Jeremy, Nigel and Sholto. Aidan was on the roof assisted by Michael. John stopped by to give his approval of all the works going on. Matt was working away in the radio room doing updates, etc. It was a beehive of activity. We hope to have the outside painted by the POTA presentation on 14 February. Other work planned includes painting the interior and a new floor. Come by and see all the changes!
