Working parties

For the past 2 Thursday evenings, a working party of volunteers has been at the Aquativity Centre progressing the internal fit out.  Considering these were just a few people for just a few hours, the progress they have made is excellent.  It may seem like a small thing, but clearing out some of the rubbish makes a big difference - the dry store is now accessible again as a result, and yesterday its internal walls were insulated and boarded with Sterling board.  The main stairs are also insulated and boarded, as are the downstairs meeting rooms and galley.  So these rooms are now ready for electrical fixing then plasterboarding.

There is still a fairly long list of jobs that we unskilled volunteers can do - more internal walls to insulate and board, and plenty of ceilings to insulate and fit noggins ready for plasterboarding.  We're expecting to keep running these evening working parties, so don't hesitate to get in touch or just come along.  Watch out for notices coming out through the Scout Group with details.

Meanwhile, we are also getting some specialist work done - the latest being preparing the lift shaft ready to fit the lift in the new few weeks.  Electrical and fire alarm fitting is also progressing well as the rooms become available.

Thank you very much to everyone who has come along to help, and thanks also to everyone contributing to the project, whether it be a donation of materials or labour - Sheffield Insulations and RJ Spiller being two great examples, grants of cash - Barker-Mill Foundation being a major donor, or volunteer support helping us move the project steadily forwards.
