2016 – Renovations to the Bar

Week 6

The fit out of the bar has commenced with the stainless steel being installed. The finish to the floor is complete and has been covered for protection. We are now waiting for the “BIG REVEAL”, which is scheduled for next weekend.

Week 5

This week it was mostly the floor in the new bar area getting all the attention, we can also see the finishes to the bar coming together. Not much longer to go until the bar is completed.

Week 4

The glass wash area has been tiled and most of the internal walls have been finished off with black paint.

Week 3

The floor boards went in and some of the plaster boards went up. As you can see the new bar is starting to take shape.

Week 2

At the start of week two, extra storage was added to the temporary bar.

Behind the hording, builders ripped up the old floor and started concentrating on the plumbing and electrical work for the new bar.

Week 1

The hording went up in stages while there was a seamless transition, as equipment was moved from the existing bar into the temporary bar.

The temporary bar will be in operation for approximately the next 6 weeks, while work commences on the new bar behind the hording.

2014 – Renovations to the Club

Renovation Update – 30/05/14

The new Sports lounge looks great. We are still waiting for the stools to arrive and are temporarily using outdoor stools which have been purchased for the new decks.

The builders have also removed the temporary hording from the bar windows, so now we have natural light streeming through the internal spaces from all directions making the Club look bright and spacious.

Renovation Update – 15/05/14

The interior of Briars at Greenlees Sporting Club is looking amazing. The new carpets have been laid and the temporary wall has been removed, revealing a stunning sports bar and a beautiful view over the new deck onto Greenlees Park. The new furniture for the Sports Bar has been delivered, but unfortunately there has been a delay in delivering the stools and the coaches. While we wait for the delivery of the stools and couches, we will be making use of the outdoor stools that have been purchased for the deck.
The official opening of the ‘Ted Stockdale Sports Lounge’ will take place in August 2014.

Renovation Update – 09/05/14

Our renovations have come a long way.
The bathrooms have been completed and look absolutely fantastic.
The Board of Directors decided to complete this stage of the renovation as per our Development Application, by completing the Sports Bar Deck and the Acoustic Glass Fence, as it was more cost effective to get the deck & the acoustic glass installed with the builders on site.
Next week the Club will be getting new Carpets laid, which will make a huge diffirence to the interior.
We would like to thank Bodens, who are doing a wonderful job in keeping to the construction schedule.

We had over 50 responses from the advertisement we placed for a caterer for Briars at Greenlees Sporting Club. Thank you to Vivian Buck from Vivian Buck Consulting who helped us narrow down the candidates to the final three. All the tenders we received were of a high quality, so it was a difficult job to get to this stage of the process. We will be finalising our decision within the next week.
