An update on News from the Board 6 which was not published in the last home game programme

Addendum to News from the Board 6 – February 2017.
This is an update to the last article which was published on the website but not in the most recent programme.
We now have approximately 2000 tons of soil from the new site stored at the far end of the existing car park. This will be used as fill when work to construct the supermarket begins.
The revised timetable for the move is…..completion of the new site – end of June; our move from Mint Bridge - end of July; first game at the ‘new’ Mint Bridge at start of the season in September. We shall play any warm-up games in August as ‘away’ fixtures.
We are in the final stages of approving the finishes to the ceilings, walls and floors, having previously worked our way through the process with lighting and other electrical fittings. This involves reviewing samples of tiles and floor coverings to fit with our overall colour scheme for the building. You will not be surprised to know that we have a recurrent ‘black and amber’ theme where appropriate.
The design of both bars is complete and we are using quality materials to ensure a pleasing finish which will last. This is one of a few areas in the building (others are the entrance hall and kitchen) where we have taken over the design from the developer to make sure the finish and appearance is coordinated properly.
We visited the new building last week to assess progress and the majority of the block walls are complete, with plastering about to start. The size of the rooms within the building is now evident and very impressive. Contrary to the rumour that reached my ears recently, both the member’s and main bar rooms are bigger than our existing Club, allowing for approximately 150 seated in the main bar.
The Project Team continues to work hard to meet deadlines and monitor progress. I am sure members are grateful for the effort on their behalf and we shall see the results very soon. I shall report further next month.
Kind regards, Stephen Green. Chairman KRUFC
