Foyer Renovation

Notice: This article is kept for historical reference. Some details may be outdated.

After many hours of hard work over the summer, our foyer has been completely renovated.

No more horrible cramped, dark, cluttered storage area.  We have welcomed in a bright, open, cheerful, greatly enlarged space to work and play in.

Each GAP child now has their own personalised area to store their personal items; Pfadfinder have more room to do woodwork and other projects; Spiel und Spass parents have more room for prams.

Many thanks to the parents and scouts who put so much time into the renovation, designing, demolishing, sorting, purchasing, cleaning, painting, tiling, fixing, woodworking, and much more.   We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and amazing community who can pull together to create something terrific for us all to use.
