Gimme Shelter...

Cold and crisp again on the #Inspired Pavilion Project last week, so Kirk Developments concentrated on further work to the inside of the building. Unfortunately again the weather put paid to the concrete being poured for the new extension floor slab, but with weather warming up it's hoped this will be completed this week.

The first task of the week was to brick up the old kitchen door and serving hatch. This was probably more down to the weather than anything, the welfare area (tea room) was struggling to stay warm and the heaters were at full capacity.

Efforts then moved on to the away dressing room, where the walls and ceilings were all boarded ready for plastering. Once the floor slab has been cast, block wall erected and first fix electrics done the walls can be plastered.

Once the away dressing room was boarded, the same task was carried out in the home dressing room and also the new loft hatch was installed.

The final action of the week was concentrated in the loft, where all of the floorboards needed removing to allow the electric cabling to be run. The added benefit of this action was that we had plenty of firewood for the bonfire keeping us all warm. Once the cables are run the loft will be ready for its insulation, although this will probably take place once the roof has been constructed.

Jobs for this week: Finish stoning up dressing rooms, lay DPM and insulation boards, pour concrete floor slabs, start extension walls and complete boarding of home dressing room. Details of these actions will be provided in next weeks blog, along with details of some positive volunteer news, an update on fundraising and details of the kitchen design and pavilion clock.

Finally our Just Giving site has gone live so we can now receive online donations and receive Gift Aid. Any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated and for all donations in excess of £50 you, a family member, or your business will be added to our Pavilion Honours Board. You can email names to donations@yarmcricketclub.co.uk for the honours board or leave a comment when you donate. The honours board is to be unveiled at this years Family Fun Day (13th July) and will remain in place to remind everyone who made this development possible. It's hoped the project will be supported by members new and old, parents, the local community and businesses. To offer your support and make a donation follow this link http://www.justgiving.com/yarmcricketclub and click on the donate button. The site is a work in progress, as I familiarise myself with the tools and options available.

Fingers crossed for concrete pouring weather...
