BUILDING EXTENSION
We have completed all the planning formalities and the approvals to start the extension to the dome building as it gets a bit crowded when we have a good turn out. [I remember mentioning it a few years ago and never thought that we would ever get there].
So here we are in 2015 and all ready to start when the weather gets better.
So if you have any building skills to offer then we will willingly accept them, if not then there will be tea required.
Most of the work is planned to be done on the weekends.
Photos will be put on the photos tab as we progress [as all stages will be photographed]
