During Covid 2020 the range has been completely rewired, proving modern LED lights, emergency lights, flood lights in the car park and smoke detectors. The roof joists have been treated to prevent woodworm. A new insulated suspended ceiling has been installed in the club room, inclusion of leather sofas and a coffee table to make a more comfortable and social space.
The building has been painted inside and out to give a brighter feel.
We have started to replace the roof over the outside trap doors.
