Called at the site last Friday to find all the cabins gone, took one shot of the car park as Peter was not on-site so I couldn't wander around. I was away all weekend so added that shot to today's pictures.

Called again today to find the car park being excavated in preparation for laying of tarmac. A mountain of rubble in the middle will need to be removed.

Paving along the side of the car park is in progress, but there appears to be a bit of a problem by the fire exit door - the level is quite high relative to the car park and the resulting slope looks dodgy.

The long gate for the car park has arrived; the substantial posts were being erected with lots of concrete. Will have to wait a few days before hanging the gate to allow the concrete to mature.

The building fund is growing, but slowly. We have received promised grants, but still need quite a bit more to fund completion. We have do have enough money to make a start on the fitting out process, but it will only cover part of the job. The sooner we have the money the sooner we will be able to complete the building and start making use of it.

We have recently received a number of donations which are much appreciated. If one was from you, then we are deeply grateful. Thank you very much!
