The interior refurbishment proposals for the bar area in the club house are progressing full steam ahead.
Purpose Design, with their knowledge and expertise in the design of bars, restaurants and hospitality have been engaged to develop this very exciting project with Boroughmuir Rugby and Community Sports Club.
The go ahead was finally given to develop the designs after the Social Investment Scotland grant was received early in the Summer. The overall aim is to develop the bar area into a welcoming environment for children, families, players and all Club members which is fundamental to the BR & CSC ethos moving forward.
The design focuses on providing cafe facilities to attract users throughout the day to ensure a lively and friendly atmosphere where users will feel comfortable dropping in for a coffee, panini, sandwich, alcoholic refreshment or light meal.
The modern but respectful design will operate on several levels with different areas for the cafe, match day enjoyment, general social gatherings which will foster interaction between all users.
Key initiatives will be the creation of the purpose designed cafe bar, a mechandise wall, the community wall (for display and notices) and flexible furniture to cater for all. The finishes will be modern but very robust and provide an important link with the Boroughmuir heritage.
Meetings with Meggetland and Hub users are on-going, todate CALA Hockey, Boroughmuir Hockey and Boroughmuir Thistle, who have been very proactive in the process, are very supportive and welcome the proposals to ensure an inclusive environment for all to use.
A variety of presentations have been made to the Rugby Club and these will continue over the summer months to ensure everyone is consulted. The programme is to develop the proposals over the next few months with an anticipated start in September for completion November 2013.
The drawings have been pinned up in the Club House for all to see, please take your time, study the designs, all comments welcome!
