Weekly Update 1/4-June-2021
Update re the Club entry gates:
Water has got into the electrics for the gates. The Main entry gate can be opened and closed manually. The pedestrian gate can be pushed open. The other gate will remain closed as we can’t get it to unlock. The parts had been ordered and hopefully will be fixed later this week. Please take care when entering and leaving the carpark.
