ROBIN HOOD ATHLETIC 100 CLUB


Fancy the chance of winning cash?  Join the 100 Club, it's  just £1 a week to get a number, and the number drawn out each Tuesday wins a cash prize of  £50.  That's FIVE times more prize money than getting three numbers on the National Lottery, for less than double the odds!  The other £50 of income goes into club funds so if you don't win, you're helping the team.

There's not many numbers left, so grab one whilst you've got a chance - see Ray Appleyard to join.

THE  CHANGING  ROOMS  PROJECT. . .


Robin Hood Athletic have built their own on site changing rooms. They are located around the Andy Parker Stand on the Western side of the ground. Below is a pictorial record of the project which took 28 months to complete, much of it done by volunteers.
 
August 2009

The foundations are in place.  And there's a pile of bricks. 
Not much to look at just yet!

   
March 2010

After a long and frustrating winter of bad weather and red tape delays, the changing rooms are now progressing.  The concrete base is now in place.
   
 
   
April 2010

The building work is in full flow now!
   
May 2010

The outer brick work is developing, with the obvious spaces for doors and windows.  The door in view will be for the visiting team.
   
 
   
June 2010

The roof framework is in place, and the external brickwork is being finished off.
   
 
   
July 2010

The roof tiles are now on.
Looking good!
   
August 2010

The external work is nearing completion.  What will the doors and windows be like?
   
September 2010

First look at the new tea room!!
And a full frontal view.
   
December 2010

Not much can be done in weather like this.
 
March 2011

Freshly painted walls and the new Chairman's office perhaps!?


 
 
April 2011

The water pipes being laid.
That's a lot of digging...
 
 
May 2011

The interior bits and pieces are being installed now there's a water supply.
 
 
July 2011

The outside is finished.		  
October 2011

The changing rooms are used
for the first time!

The front view and the home team dressing room  >>
The toilets & shower facilities  >>
