Garden Room Bar
Bar and Function Room Refurbishment update
We have been advised by the Project Manager, Decon, that unfortunately the project will now be finishing in different stages due to delays in the production of the carpet and redesign of the light fittings in the function rooms.
The Main Bar will be completed by early May as planned but the only access will be via the Club Café and/or the back stairs from the changing rooms.
The back entrance door by the 18th hole will have to be locked midweek while the contractor is working but can act as a fire exit in the evenings and at weekends to increase our occupancy allowance. This is due to the works on the new terrace extension being delayed due to the difficulty in gaining planning permission. Access and exit via the terrace is not allowed until that is completed which is likely to be mid-July.
The function rooms including the Bistro, Fountain and Garden Rooms and the corridor leading to all three rooms are unlikely to be completed before the end of May. The Bridge Room will be started in June once the other rooms are completed.
Apologies for the delay but we are now working on hiring a marquee for a month to go on the lawn next to the Clubhouse to accommodate all our events booked for May so we can keep to schedule. Some section events may need to be postponed but we will do our best to accommodate everything within the month. Photos of the refurbishment designs can be found at the top of the Clubhouse stairs and in the Reading Room.
