Just a couple of weeks ago Sport England announced the clubs and associations which will benefit from the latest round of Inspired Facilities funding. Again cricket clubs in our region were given much needed support, one of which is Rockliffe Park CC who like us are looking to modernise their pavilion facilities. We'd like to wish everyone who has been successful with their bids all the best for your projects, to everyone else out there with an Inspired Project in mind, Round 4 opens on the 4th March.
The work on the project is beginning to pick up pace now, the Kirk Developments team have had all sorts of weather to contend with over the past few weeks and to keep progress ticking over has thrown up a few challenges, frozen water pipes, to cold for concrete, sodden ground conditions underfoot, etc. As you can see in the picture below the extension is now at wall plate level, this milestone releases our second payment for the main works and we have 28 days to provide payment. Our second Sport England Claim Form has been signed off and will be in the post tomorrow morning.
Over the years we had always noted a problem with the rear corner of the building and it was highlighted in the Structural Report we had carried out last year (Cheers Les). This document was provided pre-contract and Kirk Developments were aware of the problem. This week the wall in question was removed and it would seem the roof may have been forcing it outwards. The levels were all checked and the foundation was fine. Here's a couple of pictures to show the work:
A few other notable items from the week: We've taken delivery of the fridge freezer for the kitchen, the pavilion clock has been ordered from Good Directions Ltd and we have a date of 3rd April for Northern Gas Networks to install the gas main. This date will be cutting it very fine and we hope to improve upon this somehow. Next job is to line up a provider to fit the meter, so we'll be getting on with that this week amongst other things.
Donations are slowly coming in via our Just Giving site and membership forms. To date we've raised around £1k through recent donations, this has enabled us to add the pavilion clock and purchase the fridge freezer. We still require in the region of £3k to complete fencing, equipment storage and furnishings. To all those individuals and businesses who donate in excess of £50, add a comment as you donate and your names will be added to the Pavilion Honours Board to be unveiled at this years Family Fun Day on July 13th. I'm still looking to see a few more YCC legends up there, come on lads don't be shy just click here.
On site this week: The garage opening and rear wall to be completed, changing room floors to be insulated and concrete poured, further electrical installation and delivery of the roof trusses.
Many thanks to everyone who is helping us along the way and those who've been so generous to date. Tune in next week for further updates, news and photos from the Yarm Cricket Club #Inspired Pavilion Project.
