I went to have a look 3 days ago, the concrete base is down but that seems to be it so far. What is the forecast date for opening now.

I doubt it will ever open if it is being built by tc's or mainland turks, precision is required for bowls and they wouldn't have a clue how to achieve that.

Looks like I will have to take my two sets of woods back to the UK if I want to sell them!

It could have been a real asset but I doubt it will ever get off the ground.

Why not ? Have they ran out of money ?

Is an investment needed ?

For goodness sake don't have this project dead and buried before it gets of the ground!



As all of us know who live here that when you try to do anything you invariably hit snags.



As for nothing happening on site, I can assure you that the concrete base is getting watered every day, not an expert but I presume this is to stop it cracking. Do you honestly thing they would be wasting tankers of water if it was not going ahead.



Leylandlad has left his e-mail address on message 4. If you want info e-mail him !



Good Luck Martin & Co I am sure you. will get there eventually.

Message 16 : Totally agree - will be up and running later than anticipated but I am sure that it's just "watch this space for opening date!"

like i have already said to everyone and Chris also mentioned:



If you join the mailing list you will be kept up to date on what is happening, if you choose not to join the list then you will remain stabbing in the dark at what is hapening.



Since we moved over we have made very slow progress and have many issues away from building the business that have needed tending to (Nurseawful knows all about them)!!



We will complete the build and we will open the doors on what will be one of the proudest days of all our lives.



Thanks

Another sorry mess! Par for the course here I'm afraid.

Can't help but feel sorry for Yvonne and Blue who really put a lot into the project and also Lilli and Guido who gave up a going business to be involved. Shame.
