Ground Force SAE30 Premium Engine Oil
Groundforce SAE 30 is a low ash lubricant designed for use in older horticultural equipment powered by petrol and diesel engines where monograde oils are recommended. The oil is blended from solvent refined base stocks and performance additives to control vanish, soot, dispersancy, low temperature sludge, oxidation, rust and corrosion. Groundforce SAE 30 is particularly suitable where machinery has to be laid up between seasons or for plant that is only used intermittently. It prevents internal deterioration caused by damp atmospheres and the extremes of temperatures

Club Rooms Upgrade
We are still making progress despite the latest upheaval. Robert continues to work through the massive task of reinstating the library. Once there is a little more room we will install the new cabinet to house the model cars etc. That will all but complete this part of the upgrade.
For those of you present at our last club meeting you will be aware that we have received a substantial grant from the JW Christie Trust. The application to the trust set out the purpose for which the funds were needed, namely to secure space for Club Captains equipment and archives. Building a plan and timeline for this next stage of work will be discussed at the next club committee meeting.
The men’s toilet is still out of action with September still pencilled in as the likely completion date. The plumber has been back and completed the pipe work allowing us to then finish the wall cladding and stopping. The floor has been reinstated and painting has started. Once we can access the club rooms again the painting will be completed and thin board laid throughout the area in readiness for the vinyl. Once this is done the plumber will install the urinal and toilet completing this phase.
Work on the feature wall has been progressing well but again work has stopped until we enter level two. The committee was expecting to discuss the options for decorating the feature wall at our August meeting which may be delayed for some weeks. We are still hopeful that we can complete the majority of the upgrade as planned with the polyurethaning of the T&G floor delayed until Nov-Dec when the temperature allows the floor to cure quickly.
