Report by Ian Kennedy. Over the past few weeks a determined band of club members have been working to finish the Fallen Alders clubhouse and, with the job nearly complete the rains came. On December 23 Leigh Burley arrived at the clubhouse with some counter tops for the kitchen to discover that some water trickling into the clubhouse.

By now water was running in sheets off the training field, across the parking lot and down into the clubhouse doorway. As well, water was running down the back of the building and in through the back door.

On Christmas Eve morning Colby arrived with her dad John and a few Fallen Alders neighbours to find that water lay six to eight inches deep in the clubrooms and had reached the top of the new baseboards at the bottom of the freshly attached and painted gyprock. They immediately went to Central Builders to get as many pumps as they could from Colin Chappell, who manages Central Builders Rental Division. Armed with pumps they inserted them strategically and then dug a massive ditch using a small Kubota digger from Central Builders to take away most of the...
