Another issue that was effectively tackled over the weekend was the proposed refurbishment of the club hut at the Tarn.  As I have said before this is a facility that begs a decent use and could be made rather more comfortable and inviting with a little investment.  The good news is that Council readily voted a budget sufficient to enable us to carry out some quite extensive work that will make the structure warmer and allow us to fit out the interior to a good standard.

The plan is to provide new seating together with storage cupboards, work tops, sink, a book case and a desk.  The aim will be to do this work using materials that are robust enough to stand up to heavy use whilst ensuring that the interior looks pleasant and invites members to use it.  We have the kind offer of some solar lights which will brighten up dark mornings and evenings.

All these are rough ideas at present and I have been tasked with drawing up detailed plans which will be considered by Council at their next meeting on 15 November.  So if members have ideas about what should be included in these plans then do please email or ring me and we can discuss them.

After the severe floods of Saturday the river has fallen off quickly and is currently quite low.  We are forecast a lot of rain and bad weather today so I am anticipating higher water tomorrow for a time.  It looks as if Wednesday will be the best day this week for salmon.
