Stag Meadow Update III

[Bins]

Brief News Update - and the first item might be of interest to any supporters who enjoy plumbing and/or sewerage systems (I believe in keeping minorities interested):-

 

1. Work started on the sewer pipe this morning. Turns out the pipe itself is watertight, and the last repair is doing its job well. The water seepage is coming from the surrounding area (possibly just run-off down the slope of the ground as water always finds a route). Fills the hole quite fast. The Cunning Plan from me, Steve R and our accommodating builder Martin is to construct a manhole to prevent the hole collapsing again, and install a pipe from this hole to a nearby manhole and allow the excess water to flow away. Seemples!

 

2. Changing Room ceiling : all the debris now cleared away and prices awaited for making it all look good for the incoming stars of next season. Will need to do some repairs to the roofing ashphelt too.

 

3. Pitch growing superbly and looks very lush. Current spell of rain working wonders. Weeds treated around main terracing and appear to be dying nicely (NB: is that an oxymoron?)

 

4. Arrangements in hand to clear the mounds of debris from the ground car park, and so give us back some vital parking spaces.

 

5. Arrangements also underway for a generator to be on site before the Wycombe Wanderers friendly on 23rd July. Cost from Scottish & Southern to upgrade the mains power supply sadly too expensive at present.

 

 

Not exactly earth-shattering news this week, but you didn't know that until you'd read it! And hands up those who had to look up 'oxymoron', and are still none the wiser.........

 

More news soon.

Is an oxymoron almost exactly an Oxford Utd supporter?

No, but that's the kind of response I like!

With wit like this we can rise above the dross.
