Euan Pyper and myself were able to visit the site of our new clubhouse today. First impressions were very positive. The clubhouse is obviously bigger inside than it looks from the outside. A quick measure reveals it's about 3 times larger than our present one. We should have the capacity to seat approximately 120 people inside. With massive folding glass windows and very high ceiling the space will be light and airy. We will also have a log fire for those cold winter days.
The terrace will have a fantastic view of the final green, also there will be more views of the course to the side.
