Another eventful and busy week on the ground floor. Lots of rain plus the high tides early in the week meant the ground water level made itself visible to us in the beam trench for just a short period.

It’s a hive of activity to get this in and floated off today so it can enjoy a nice…

Lots of activity this week mainly concrete cutting, kango hammering etc in preparation for pouring the ground beam. The concrete pour for this has been delayed. During the demo from this area an old concrete drain was exposed in the slab next to the seaward wall which can be seen in the attached photo. We also exposed an old eye hook which had been concreted into the sea wall. This would have been used to tie boats up to back in the day. See the photo provided by Gavin showing “Doris” tied up in the 1930’s when each boat had…
Work commenced on Monday the 17th of May. A section of carpet, and flooring has been cut and prepared for the installation of the ground beam next week.

Ceiling tiles have been removed where required to expose the area where the portal will be placed. Trophy cabinets have been removed exposing the sea…
Notice of RPNYC AGM 2020 At the moment this is going to be on the 24 of June. Of course, this assumes that an in-person AGM will be allowed under the alert level that we’re in on 24 June.

Given the uncertainty around the COVID situation, and the changes in the Wardroom (see above), Pedro, James and Katie feel that now is…
