Your committee is delighted to announce that we have completed the freehold purchase of the land upon which the SBC clubhouse is built.  We are pleased to acknowledge the help given by South Kesteven District Council in agreeing to the transfer of ownership.  This important piece of our extension work jigsaw would not have happened without a significant amount of work by John Prior and Paul Double.  Thank you very much, gentlemen.

Extension Project - latest report (3 March).  Members will have notice the progress being made to our extension building project.  The store room has been completed and is in use.  The new ladies rest room should be finished by Friday 6th March.  Look out for further information at the club house.  Work will then start to upgrade the current gents facility.  The remaining car parking spaces used by the builders will be returned to the club very soon.

Thank you all for your forbearance.  Brian and the project team.
