It's not all finished wont be for another few weeks

The other end of the building to where we were tonight is still being worked on

One stair case & walls that i saw still needed painting  ;D

In other words the half of the building we saw last night is 99% finished the other half is still a WIP

What happened to the bricks we paid for a few years back ????

Exactly we were told that those that contributed would have their name on the wall or on the bricks.

That was last year.I think they marketed it as Immortal Tigers.

I want to see my paver with my name on it.

The bricks & pavers will be re-laid once all the building works are complete.

The area outside the building running down to the boundary fence is still just gravel. It has to be sealed etc once that is done the bricks & pavers will be re-laid. That's what i got told at the FTF dinner

The actual building maybe finished now (or 95% done) but there is still a fair bit of "clean up" to do  :thumbsup

The new Minister is Hugh Delahunty (National). Actually played a few gaems for the Bombers.

Noticed that area in one of the shots, hopefully they continue their pre/after match bbqs for the not so high healed of us upstairs. I'll probably chose to stay down if they do!
