The club is very lucky to have two properties - the cottage (for members and their guests) and the barn (for booking out to groups). It does mean twice as much maintenance though!

Improved heating and drying arrangements in the Barn and new drainage
In 2010 the committee aim to focus on ensuring both buildings are watertight by improving the drainage at the back of both buildings. Additionally it is hoped to replace the barn windows and maybe even a new fireplace for the cottage.
If you have any comments on these improvements,
or can help in some way, then please email Claire,
who is putting together a development plan for both buildings.
