16 Jan 07     Phase three begins (refurbishment of the tennis courts)


The final Phase of the project started early today as ETC Sports Surfaces arrived to start work on the tennis courts.  Work is scheduled to last 6-8 weeks (weather permitting).  Initially the fence and the trees on the bowls side will be pulled down and security fencing erected.  The surface will then be power washed and prepared for the tarmac.  Rigid Weldmesh fencing will be erected and the surface Playmac tarmac laid.  Finally, the courts will be colour sprayed sometime in April.
