Club Re-opening after Lockdown

Don Karges Announcements, COVID-19

The provincial government has announced that the Southwestern health unit will be moving to the “Red – Control” alert status on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.  We expect that the region will remain in this status for two weeks. This announcement permits the Woodstock Badminton Club to re-open.

The club will open on Tuesday February 16th for singles play only.

The province is discouraging travel of  persons from high risk (red and grey) health zones to other  health zones.

Therefore, the only members that can utilize courts at this time are members that reside in the Southwestern health unit (zone) and members that reside in a health unit (zone) that is in orange, yellow or green alert status.

This approach is consistent with the restrictions that were in place before the lockdown in December when the club was not open to members outside of the Southwestern zone that resided  in red zones.

We look forwarding to welcoming back members as he provincial restrictions relax.

The basement renovation work is now complete except for the installation of an exhaust fan that will be installed once the weather is warmer.

Stairwell Repair Project

Don Karges General

Work has been underway over the past few weeks on the renovation of the stairwells and men’s changeroom.

 The stairwell to the women’s changeroom is a continuation of the work started back in September to repair a water leakage problem.  In September we stopped the leaking and closed in an old window from the outside.  We are now repairing the inside wall damage and filling in the closed off basement window.

The plaster from the north wall has been removed.  The wall was then insulated and new drywall has been installed.

The drywall has then been finished and painted.

The second part of the project is the paining and repair of the stairwell to the men’s stairwell. This work is still underway.
