(still work in progress - we should finally take possession of the pavilion on Friday 6 July



Finishing touches being added to the front - netting protecting new grass
with grass in foreground recovering from having been the location of the marquee
 



The Hor. Dom Ingram about to cut the ribbon for John Clark to then pull the first pint





Bar is starting to be close to ready for business thanks to some hard graft by Nik and Rach
Yes, they are the old bar stools - reupholstered




The Radlett & Middlesex players balcony together with a brand new bench




The new bench on the players balcony has an inscription from the donor





And, yes, this is part of the pavilion. It is the home team dressing room, honest!
The coiled wire on the left will be connected to a large flat-screen TV very soon.
