Glaziers are replacing various windows throughout the clubhouse

Window near Training Room at the end of the upstairs hallway (this could not be cleaned or salvaged – pitted by salt-air)
Ocean-facing window in the Bar Area - last one on the far-right, closest to bi-fold doors (as above – pitted by salt-air). This was the only one of these bank of windows that needed replacing - the rest just need to be cleaned; and in the case of the double-hung windows, serviced - which Taranto's are doing as part of their quote.
Window in the upstairs Men's Bathroom - this was not up to current building code for an upstairs area, so has been replaced with something that is (frosted for privacy).

Listed below is a summary of works which will be undertaken over the next few months for the refurbishment of the Clubhouse. Money for the work was obtained from the LSV building audit and the State Government’s ‘Pick My Project’ funds. An insurance claim to re- instate the clubhouse after flood damage to the ground floor and training room will also be completed. All works should be completed well before the opening of the 2019-20 patrol season (ie. 30th November 2019).
