New Build - Patience Baden-Powell Centre
January 2012 Update:
No time has been lost in pressing on with this essential work. Despite the rain and cold work goes on. Windows and doors have been fitted, soon to be followed by underfloor heating and insulation. The team from Boxgrove Developments Ltd are on site and looking forward to some dryer days. www.boxgrovedevelopmentsltd.com
December 2011 Update:
Good progress building the roof during the sunshine means that our roofers were hard at work applying the slates. 'The roof will be on for Christmas' they said, and indeed it was.
November 2011 Update:
A substantial amount of timber frame work has been completed. It is now possible to visualise the new shop and office. The weather has not been so kind, but work has pressed on and the build is still on target.
October 2011 Update:
The footings have been dug and the small walls erected. Stonework prepared and donated by Cliff Palmer has been sited in the brickwork and Round Wood are onsite delivering and erected the oak frame for the new build.
Work Begins:
At last the Planning Office has passed the amended plans for the Patience Baden-Powell Centre, as drawn up by David Gardner who listened to input from many sources and responded with a great solution.
The Patience Baden-Powell Centre will include a reception area, to be the hub of the activity centre, a shop, an area which can be used for training and meetings, and space for offices.
The existing building will come down after the summer season and the new one will be ready next Easter, with your help.
