Back on Saturday 12th January 2013,
a grandstand was taken away from near the scoreboard and in front
of the Clubhouse
and it is the intention of Leon Nelson, the Grounds Controller,
to one day make a 'Beer Garden' for spectators in this area
All the details on this work can be seen by having a look HERE
Maybe one day it will look like
this ...
but the first
requirement would be some shade and this was one of the projects
today
****************************************************************************
This piece of secondhand shade cloth
is about to become the roof of the Beer Garden ...
... but first it needs to be unrolled
...
... and have Sharon and Kahlia Pepper
patch the holes that are in it ...
... while Tai plays his game and
maybe has a snooze
.
.
.
One side of this secondhand piece
of material had eyelets but the other three had just been roughly
cut
To strengthen these edges, last week Leon Nelson, the Grounds
Controller, cable tied rope into each one
paying particular attention to the corners and the result can
be seen in the shot below
Here Sharon and Kahlia do an inspection
...
.
and, yes, they find more holes that
needed patching ...... while Tai continues to doze in the background
...
... and I bet these two used the
chance to have a good gossip !!
Sharon and Kahlia have done their
job ... now it's time to hang it in position
One edge needed to be anchored to
one of the roof beams with shackles and springs
( !! pity this is not on video
!! it was a real comedy routine !! lots of chiefs and no indians
at all !! )
Lots of people just sitting around
... watching !!
Leon finally had enough and came
over to sort everything out ...
... and with the shade cloth partly
in position, he started to anchor it to the top of the backnet
Just about done ...
... and Steve Landsberg tries out
the 'new shade'
!!
FINISHED !!
There are a few beer barrels at
the grounds and one can be seen in the photo below
In keeping with the 'Beer Garden' theme, these are going to be
used as the table supports
To the right of the shot you can
see the shade cloth that is over the grandstands on the third
base side of the diamond
This work was also completed today and the details and photos
can be seen by clicking HERE
