Spent a very satisfying morning with fellow members of our club laying a new access path at the Hillingdon Mencap Pool. Lovely spring morning, ideal for a bit of manual labour! We identified this project as something we could usefully do back in the middle of 2010 and applied for our very first Rotary District grant to help with 50% of the cost. Back in October we cleared the area and had our materials delivered in the February half-term (because the pool is on a special school site we can only get deliveries in the holidays).
As with all good building projects the team doing the work differed somewhat from the team that estimated the job, so we'll be back during Easter holidays when we've had some more materials delivered to let us finish the job! (Actually we've made the path a bit wider than orginally planned so that wheelchairs can comfortably go down it when it's used as an emergency exit).
Good fun, good craic, and a feeling of satisfaction for a job well under way.
