 The latest pictures of the new tennis stadium work.  Looks like things are moving right along.

 Many thanks to Carol Parent for providing these updated pictures.

 Won't this be a great way to enjoy all of the tennis events in 2011!

Note:  If anyone has any other BMC Club pictures you want included over the winter, please email them to me at debbiecanady@gmail.com and I'll be glad to get them in.  That saves the multiple emails to various people before I get them.  Kathy, Nancy and May will be contact points in the spring and summer but I am here all year so feel free to send me whatever you think is blog worthy.  :)

We are expecting some snow on Thanksgiving but it doesn't appear to be anything of significance at this point.  Hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

Late Post on New Snow

Pictures taken November 6th

Our first snowfall of the season was very welcome.  Winds were light and the snowfall soft and constant for a day and a half.  We wound up with about 4" overall and it was beautiful.

 A quiet, snowy and beautiful day.

The trees were coated at such a slow pace that some looked like feathers.  Our next snowfall is expected to begin Thanksgiving night but little accumulation, if any, has been predicted so far.  Stay tuned....

Tennis Stadium Update

Finally, after all these weeks, we have resumed the construction of the tennis stadium.

During the past several weeks, we have designed, redesigned, and re-redesigned the trusses that are needed to hold up the stadium. They had to undergo rigorous engineering specifications, and finally they have been designed, manufactured, and delivered.

Then, the first snow of the season came.... BUT, this WILL GET DONE!!!

Attached are some of the pictures of the concrete foundations that were put in about 2 weeks ago, and the girders that were placed on them today, in preparation for the placing of the trusses. First picture shows girders and support beams installed, second pictures shows the trusses that have been delivered to support the planking on which the seats are installed, and third picture shows the seats, still boxed, but ready to be installed!

The fence has come down, and construction should go rapidly once the planking gets started.
