Rebuilding of the pavilion in 2002

In 2002 the old pavilion which had stood at the club since moving to the present site in 1930 was demolished and replaced with a new building, mainly constructed by Bob Waters, click on the photos to enlarge them


a photo from October 2000 - some members by the old pavilion just before demolition commenced - left to right: Rita Brook, Monica Skeet, David Pasfield, Ann Summerland, Cyril Potter, Murile Bell and Bob Waters who was largely responsible for the construction of the new pavilion

 

 

The old pavilion - purchased second hand for £10 in 1929! this photo was taken just before demolition started

Nearly gone! - all that remains is the timber frame - Richard Waters was ably assisting his father in the de-construction !

 

early stages of the construction of the new pavilion - the foundation slab is complete and blockwork in progress

 

further advanced - walls in place and the roof going on
