A Project 30 months in the making will come to fruition 13th April 2019 6.30pm when the $2.7m upgraded facilities will be officially open
I have been trying to keep everyone updated as best as possible and can confirm the following in relation to the next 2 weeks regarding building upgrade information –
1. This week all services will continue to be delivered out of old Clubhouse and old canteen
2. 8th April 2019 – 12th April 2019 – CHA will transition services to the new building
3. We are asking for volunteer assistance especially from teenage members to assist us during school holidays and we can provide food vouchers to be redeemed at the new canteen as payment. If you can share this information with your members, this will be appreciated.
4. Our plan is to have the new bar open on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th and then again on Saturday 13th remembering no games on Friday 12th due to school holidays.
5. Our plan is to open the new canteen 13th April 2019.
