The new driving bays

To complement Tony's new studio facilities the greenstaff were commissioned to build some all-weather driving bays.....


The initial construction consisted of determining the lie of the land: this necessitated adopting a 3 tier, twin bay layout.
After excavating the site the sleeper surrounds were constructed and the bays filled with hardcore.
.






This was then levelled and compacted to form a firm base for the top layer of sharp sand.







Quite possibly the most important part of the operation.
Great care was taken to ensure the sand was compacted and levelled to the exact requirements needed for the laying of the synthetic turf.

Synthetic turf laid, trimmed to exact size and nailed into place.











Bay dividers put in place, new studio signs and a gravel entrance and the job is complete.

We appear to have a comedian in our midst.....







The identity of the club clown has yet to be uncovered!!












The club clown strikes again!!!!!!!

Firstly, many apologies for being remiss in updating..

Secondly, I would like to thank both the board of directors and the membership who generously donated to this year's staff bonus-myself and the rest of the greenkeeping staff are very appreciative of the gesture.
