As many of you will have seen from the newsletter, the Village Hall is nearing completion. Installation of the toilets is almost complete and the joiner will be here to install cubicles, skirting boards and internal doors. The kitchen equuipment is also being fitted and the car park is being surfaced.
The pond has been fenced off for safety and will be overlooked by the rear patio - a nice sunny place to sit and relax outside.
Another month has passed and there are a lot of visible changes both outside and inside. The scaffolding has been removed and the building can be clearly seen. Plastering has finished and painting has begun. The main hall floor has been laid and light fittings are being installed.
With approximately six weeks left to go, the kitchen equipment has been ordered and final decisions are being made on tables, chairs, curtains, etc.
It's amazing how quickly things are now moving along! As of last Friday (21 May) the windows and doors had been fitted and the roof is ready for tiling. First fix electrics and plumbing will be starting shortly.

Things swung rapidly into action again after the May Day bank holiday with the arrival of the crane to lift the steel beams and the roof trusses into place. Now it is really beginning to look like a building and the flag of St. George flies proudly after "topping out."

The scaffolding is in place and the external walls are just about up to roof height. The last week in April should see the internal walls completed and, after the May bank holiday, work is due to start on the roof. Latest photos below.

There is still a lot of administrative work going on behind the scenes, too. Thank you to all of you for your dedication and committment. You know who you are!
The weather has been good for the past two weeks and progress has been rapid, as I'm sure you have noticed. The walls are growing fast and it won't be too long before scaffolding goes up and the roof timbers arrive.

We are now into April and work is moving along. Anyone walking or driving along Bridlington Road past the site will be able to see that the walls are going up quite quickly now. Meantime, in the background, there are plenty of headaches associated with understanding the reporting and bill-paying systems for the Big Lottery! It will be well worth it in the end. We hope!

The footings are in and the base is being poured. If the weather is kind we will see quick progress as the external walls being construction. At last we shall really see the building taking shape!
Good weather has finally arrived and that means that excavation and building work has now begun. Things should take shape very quickly.
It's an exciting time and it is hoped that, if all goes to plan, the new building will be ready by the end of the summer.
