Will there still be someone there in this rain from half 12 ? As have water proofs so don't worry me !
See you then hopefully Ian or Neil

[spirit of 1990]

I'll be there from about 1:00 as I've got to get some more paimt from Wards. Don't know what it'll be like at that time weather-wise but if I can't get onto the HSE I'll be giving the M A a tidy up as there's stuff lying all over.

Thank you to whoever sorted the tap in the gents outside toilet. No water pouring out of the door. Happy girl.

The June edition of the newsletter is now on the official website with images showing progress on the summer programmes set by the board.....please continue to support this worthy cause

Holkerbird please rest assured if the ground falls down tonight there will be 22 seats in the dugouts still standing.

Tommy, Your 2 pieces of plastic are in the MA. Leaning against the pedestal drill.

64 and 69 you are very handy chaps. It seems my wish is your command. Are either of you married?

[whitty1964]

One of us is

[whitty1969]

You will have to ask us both out to see which one say's YES

[spirit of 1990]

Elaine, I know them both & they're lucky to have any sort of Human interested in them....best leave well alone....especially 64.

Enough joviality, back ground matters.

As 64 or 69 says they fastened down the seats in the dug-outs, a ten minute job but one that everyone was struggling to just put aside the time to do - good job out of the way.

Me & Louie spent an entire afternoon tidying the M A up as it's been a bit neglected lately because of everything else that's been going on, the rain stopped any further progress on the HSE today but the spare time was used well.

Needed for Sunday - all inside jobs if weather is bad.

(klaus) painting inside the first aid room.

Someone to start the re-furb on the phsyio bench (sanding & painting)

A couple of people to start painting the home changing rooms.

If the weather is fine.

As many people as possible for all sorts of jobs, the first friendly is only a week away & the season start is creeping up fast & there's still loads to do.
I've ordered the fresh supplies of paint from Wards & will hopefully be ordering the HOLKER STREET END sign tomorrow morning.
Still looking for someone who can patch two inside ceilings in the Cross Bar.

Sunday 9:00am start.

[whitty1969]

Ian, Looking round the ground today.
Sorting the posts is one of the main priority's on Sunday. Can the lads who started them get this done in a day?
Weeding the Holker street end....... Looks an eyesore and people coming into the ground next week will wonder what we have been doing?
Can we get the stones on the path completed this week?
The sign on above the turnstile (entrance to MA) has fallen down. Looks terrible.
The "Welcome to Barrow AFC" sign in the carpark has snapped and hit the deck. Needs refixing.
I will help when I can, maybe get down for a couple of hours Sunday, but im taking part in a football match at Lunchtime.

Eh, sorry to mention it again..... really worried about the pitch. I'm shocked and gutted this is not sorted. What are the new players and trialist going to say when they see it?

Thanks Neil....collected them earlier when dropped off raw bolts and brackets...spot on!!!
Got a few photos in the workshop as well.....someones been busy tidying and sorting

Tommy and I will hopefully be collecting the stones for the side of the Crossbar path and getting them put in next Friday afternoon. Who has a key for the gate at the back of Asda near the First Aid room as we'll probably need to use that gate?
The letter above the Popular side turnstiles also needs fixing back up, its in a recess against the wall by the turnstiles so it doesn't blow away.
Agreed about the pitch.

[Holkerbird]

The walls in the home changing rooms have been scrubbed ready for painting and the floor is partly scrubbed---work in progress. The floor in the toilet cubicle could do with a coat of floor paint. I noticed there was some in the MA. The smell hasn't completely gone from the toilet replacement.
Can you take the mirror off the wall please as I have bought a new one? Thank you.

I think the last few posts sum up the work that still needs to be done before the season starts. Lots of people have become "regulars" now, how about a few more?

People complain about this that & the other but we haven't seen you, it really isn't that bad, it can be quite enjoyable - come & give a few hours whenever you can & lets get the place looking half decent. You don't need a trade or skill just your time, people who have come down once generally turn up again & again - try it.
