Caffe Parma update and other club news!


 Caffe Parma Update
Good news is we now have a potential opening date of 24 August for "Caffe Parma" as it will be called. Thanks so much to Jane Skinner ( club treasurer) and Craig Connelly (Architect) for all their help in finally getting it all done pushing the builders and lawyers to get finished! The idea will be that for the first 2 weeks of opening both the caffe and club bar will be open to give Stefano (Paperinos) a chance to find his feet. After 2 weeks approx we will then close our members area to begin work on our refit and western staff will be assumed by them.
The balcony as you can see is great and we can use for all the good weather we are having! The good moments are wonderful though!
The official grand opening will take place sometime in September with a date to be announced soon for the red carpet affair!
There are a few snagging issues such as the patio area where the hedge used to be. The roots will be removed and the area re paved. Eventually this could become an outside training area but not short term.
The opening in the hedge will be filled with a decorative steel frame which will not only look good but will also allow passers by to see what is going on!
The mini tennis court will be re painted and the entire area power washed shortly.
We still have to put up new signage and this will be done in conjunction with Caffe Parma to present a stylish front to the public.
