Nearly there
The studio is just a few days from completion and I can’t wait for the members to use this fantastic new facility. At this time, I would like to thank the following people for the contribution. Mick Green (Club President) Without Mick’s drive to fulfil the members request for a simulator in the 2017 survey this project would have never got off the ground. He has been determined to see the project complete and provide a valued facility to enhance members and guests experience at Sickleholme for years to come. Neil Coverley (Project Manager) Neil has been the driving force to delivering this excellent facility for the members, his expertise and endless supply of fancy building tools has made this project happen. Working with John Lomas they have designed and carried out all the work from the digging out to the finishing touches. There is no doubt Neil’s contribution has been above and beyond. Oliver Smith (Our Oli) Always ready to get stuck both physically and with his input, he has helped deliver this project ahead of time and shown his full commitment to Sickleholme. His idea to get Richard involved using a mini digger to help move the 20 cubic tonnes of material was a life saver without him we would still be digging out. On that note, a big thank you to Richard (Deputy Head Greenkeeper) for his great skills on the digger. I still can’t believe how he got the machine in through the locker room door! John Lomas (Vice President) A key member of the team working closely with Neil on the design and implementation of the plans, John’s building experience proved invaluable on the trickier parts of the job. Patrick (Club Manager) Always on hand for anything we needed, and great with a paint brush, Patrick helped to keep the club running despite all the disruption. Other people who without them we would have not got this room done a big thank you too: - Barrow Boys – Nick Toes & Philip Mosley (hope his shoulder recovers)
- Steve Thourgood for his loan of equipment
- Lee & Peter Austin for all the electrical work
- Chris Littlewood for the carpeting
- Carley for keeping the beers flowing at the end of each shift, and for putting up with the noise.
- Debbie & Sally for cleaning up every morning after we had got dust everywhere
- Mike Ibbotson & Neil for sorting out all the IT stuff we needed
Sorry if I have missed anyone else's contribution, you've all been a great help!
