Clubhouse Upgrade

Our application to the City of Gosnells for financial assistance with the upgrade to the clubhouse has been successful. The Dept of Sport & Recreation has now also come to the party with a 1/3rd grant for the upgrade.   The total upgrade will cost close to $150,000 and task will now be to complete as much of this project as we can during the off season. 
The Upgrade has started with the extensions to the kitchen under way. When the wall between the old and new is removed the kitchen will be out of action for about 5 weeks from the 18th October

The Council has also approved a 50% grant for the purchase and installation of the new air conditioner at the eastern end of the clubhouse.
