Boat store progress
A few people have been very busy over the last few weeks getting some traction on the work needed to get the boat store into operation. From a bare shell as the starting point, the tasks involve insulating the walls and ceiling, then boarding/dry-lining them, in parallel with doing the electrical first fix for the building, taking cabling through and into the boat store. We also need a partition wall to separate the wet boat store from the dry camping equipment store, with associated doorway and fire escape stairs.
General update - March 2012
Plenty going on behind the scenes, even if visible progress may appear to have slowed, to the casual observer.
Thank you for voting for us
Back in October, we asked for your help. Nat West Community Force were running a website where projects all round the country could advertise what they were doing and ask for votes from supporters. The 3 projects with the most votes in each region (ours being Southampton) would get a donation of £6,000 as a result of attracting these votes. With your help, and with a lot of running around in the final days of voting, we got 360 votes. Thank you!

Windows
The windows and doors have arrived this week, and as of yesterday evening, the windows had all been installed, and 1 door in. Ridge tiles have completed on the roof too, and cladding as far as possible, ready for completion now the windows are in.
Here's a few snaps I took yesterday.

Vote for Aquativity to win us £6000
Despite the great success of the 20/20 fundraising challenge, we still need more money and more support. One of the latest initiatives we are taking part in is the Nat West Community Force.
Everyone is invited to register their email address on the Community Force website, then vote for up to 3 projects across the country. The 3 projects in each area with the most votes get a financial contribution of up to £6000.

Unlike the inital rush, work on the cladding is ticking over and its now possible to get a feel for how the whole building will look...
20/20 Match Funding - The Result
Back in September 2010, we were set a challenge: raise £20,000 by the end of September 2011, and every £1 will be matched, so the project will benefit from a total of £40,000 as a result of our efforts.
So here we are at the end of the allotted time. How did we do?
Well,
