Today was a very productive day at our clubrooms replacing rotted weatherboard on the end of our hall.

It's probably exposed to most of the worst weather so about time. I didn't get any before photos of the removal, BD may have?

I've attached some photos below but it got me to thinking how blessed we are to actually have a home. For many years our club met in a Church Hall which was ok but the old-guard reckoned all the talk of clubrooms one-day' would never happen, too hard etc and for many years it seemed they might be proved right but patience and perseverance paid off. They are not 'ours of course, rather courtesy of the local City Council for a pepper-corn rental in return for regular maintenance and trouble-free tenants. These are our second rooms, the former ones we lost only because the site (a Christian charitable trust) was undergoing redevelopment and I think we were last to leave because we were so highly regarded.

How many other clubs that members here belong have their 'home' where they can keep their displays, items of interest and generally just hang out?

PS, There may be one or two M-U members among these pictures, but I'm not telling Flapper See second post further below for some interior photos
