Blackthorns has a policy of continual improvement to the facilities available to its members. Some of the projects may be major, others small, but all help to ensure that Blackthorns continues to develop for the years ahead.

Spring 2010

August 2005 - May 2006

Blackthorns biggest recent project is an extension to the clubhouse that has enabled the current facilities to double in size, especially welcome on party nights. The new room includes a disabled persons  toilet with wheelchair access and baby changing facilities. A fantastic fireplace (see below) provides a focal feature and a welcoming atmosphere.

Summer 2008
Throughout the summer of 2008 the ladies toilet, situated half way down the site next t the Petanque courts, was refurbished.
 The job started out as a redecoration but quickly turned into a much bigger project when it was discovered that the floor was breaking up and was in need of replacement,
 So it ended up as a complete refit.
 It now has a new tiled floor, new tiles on the walls, new toilets and partitions and a new sink.
 The work was carried out completely by our members, with the only cost being the materials.
 The toilets now look like new and should last for many years to come.
The Sauna, which has been in the planning stage for quite some time, is finally on it’s way. The work is now moving swiftly and it is looking like it will be finished towards the end of the year, ready for the winter.
Summer 2009

A new sign has been put up to mark our growing Crazy Golf course, we now have 12 holes to test us.

A challenge to all who wish to take it on.

Well done Eric, keep up the good work.

Although the pool was heated it was expensive to run, so this year we have added a heat exchanger. This means the pool is cheaper to heat and therefore can be opened earlier and closed later in the season. It also means a more constant temperature throughout the year, much to the pleasure of our members.

The Sauna is now complete and has been used for the first time. It is a commercial type sauna and has surpassed our expectations. A big thank you goes out to all those that helped build it. Now we have a reason to look forward to the winter months too.  

The main club house has been completely

re-covered in cladding.

This will ensure it not only looks better, but will also make it much better protected from the weather and will give it a much longer life span.
