Roof Renewal 2010

Following a winter of indoor bowling where matches had to be cancelled due to water ingress, it was pretty clear that urgent maintenance was required on the club house roof. After several committee meetings and an Emergency General Meeting, the Council of Management gave the go ahead for an entire new roof. From the photos below, it was quite clear that this was an absolute necessity. The new roof was financed by a maintenance fund, generated by a maintenace levy which was imposed on the fees of all members for a total of ten years. Along with an interest free loan from a long standing member of the club, which was paid back in 2011, the project was part funded by a grant awarded by Awards for All Scotland. Awards for All is a Lottery grants scheme funding small, local community-based projects in the UK. Since 1994, 28p from every pound spent by the public on lottery tickets has gone to good causes. As a result, over £27 billion has now been raised and more than 317,000 grants awarded. Below is a brief time line of the work to replace the roof, as well as a selection of photos taken during the 3 weeks of construction.
