Weekly Bulletin 26th May

Published: Sunday, 26 May 2024 07:10
 
The installation of Solar Panels at the clubhouse will be undertaken on the 29th May and will involve the partial closure of the Car Park, for contractor vehicles, and some disruption inside the Clubhouse as the electricity will have to be turned off, for a short period, during the day.
There are no restrictions on the use of the green during the installation apart from the Car Park.
Ringwood Town Councillors debated the Club solar panel installation proposal at a meeting on the 22nd May. They were 'bowled' over (their words not Barry's) by the idea and there was a unanimous acceptance for the work to go ahead.
The Club proposed that should the Council wish to promote a green agenda to promote Ringwood, photos of the Club were welcome , with the understanding that this would also help promote the Club.
The 16 panels will produce a maximum of 9 kW/h and the Club will have a battery storage system capable of holding 5,2kW. The battery will be installed clear of the west escape door. It is anticipated that the system will pay for itself over the next 6/7 years.
 
This weeks 50/50 Club winner is Bill Pentelow, number 17. Well done Bill.
 
This is the last News Bulletin for three weeks as I will be away in Ireland. It will be back again on the 23rd June.
