With some long days put in by our volunteers we will have the roof finished by next weekend, trusses, sheathing and ProLock roofing installed.

Work has begun on a road into the sporting clays field. This should be our project for next spring.

We also spent some time last week clearing out a section of the trout pond and we’re looking into introducing some rainbow trout.

This weekend we managed to get all of our roof trusses in place. Next comes the sheathing and finally the roof. Big thanks to all the volunteers who have helped us get to this point. The building should be ready by the time the snow falls. If you’d like to make a donation to the building fund ( we need to pay for the roofing) please contact Pat Bare at 250 768 3301

Today we put the finishing touches on the slab for the clubhouse phase I. This is the culmination of a lot of work on the part of our volunteers: digging for the foundation, compacting the foundation, building the frames, getting them in place then backfilling, bending and tying the rebar, setting up the frames for the sonotubes to support the posts at the front of the building and bending and tying more rebar. This was an exceptional effort on the part of our volunteers. Thanks you all for coming out and getting the job done with great results!

While Pat was building the forms, Paulo, Don, Tim Bob and Greg were busy preparing the foundation. Paulo jr was also there to help deliver the crush but took off before we could record his presence. Thanks to Tyler Smith from Cascade Geotechnical for his geotech advise.

Phase 1 of the clubhouse will soon have the foundation in place . We will still need donations to get the roof on. To date we have raised $8,400 through the generosity of some of our members. A list of donors so far is available here. To make your donation please contact Pat Bare at pat.bare@yahoo.com  and contribute to help us complete the initial phase.
