Help Wanted

Well this last week has seen the first stages of the renovations at the Glenelg centre undertaken. The split system air conditioners are in, and the old gas heaters, with their antiquated piping are coming out today. The next step will be when the asbestos sheets are removed, hopefully later this coming week.

This has been necessary if our Corps is going to be able to use the centre in the future. Sadly, some disrepair has meant some dangerous occurrences at the centre where people have fallen over carpet and fan blades have flown off. Also, we lack simple amenities like decent change spaces for parents and disabled toilet access. The renovations will make the place look better, sure, but they're mostly about making it safe and usable.

Some conjecture has been about regarding the expenditure at the centre after the Corps have come together as one. It is sad that much of these works weren't done in the past. However, we now have an opportunity to make this great asset a viable venue for future outreaches from our Corps.

To this end we need some help. This Saturday, October 30, we are meeting at the Glenelg centre at 10am for a clean out. We need to move everything off the floor that will be ripped up by the asbestos tradesman. We also need to get rid of things that might be cluttering the building and have no future use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
