During the recent cold weather and issues we were having with the club heating we found that the lowered ceiling in the Snooker Room had moved with the ceiling tiles hanging down. This has all now been successfully re-secured, it did offer the lucky few the chance to see the hidden architectural gem of the original domed ceiling complete with timber beams. Hopefully one day in the future we might be able to restore this original feature, but there’s a few jobs on the to do list first!







We’ve also had some considerable work done with the heating systems this winter, predominantly on the snooker room circuit. During the regular security and systems checks we noticed the snooker room circuit was really struggling to get warm, and the building was getting progressively colder. Working with Meersbrook & Heeley based heating experts, Osborne UK Ltd, we have flushed and serviced the system, replaced 2 blocked and knackered radiators, and set up each radiator in turn to get the necessary flow on the return leg of the system. As Jack, Pete and myself can testify, this doesn’t tell anywhere near the whole story of the work that’s gone into investigating how the system works, removing all the bench seating etc to get at rad’s & pipework!
Many thanks to Paul & Steve Osborne and all their team for their hard work. We got there in the end!











Good on you lads The struggles with “the rads” reminds me of the massive struggle we had with revamping the heating flow at our late family home and surgery at Upper Albert Rd when but for the immense heating talent n knowledge of our immediate neighbour ( heating engineer at Northern General) we would have been completely lost!! Good on yers
