Since moving up to our fabulous new range, it became evident that without toilet facilities we were going to limit ourselves in what we could offer in the future for fellow and would be archers.
If we are going to hold bigger events, competitions, ‘Have a go days’ etc. toilets were going to be an absolute necessity, the decision then came around to what type do we require?
Cost was an issue, but we had to speculate to accumulate as it were. We only wanted to do this once so we decided that purchasing the larger accessible portaloo was the answer. This could double up as a changing room if required.On arrival, as some of you may know, they were placed on plastic matting as a temporary measure till a more permanent base could be installed.
The relatively easy! and lower cost solution was to acquire paving slabs to be laid on a coarse sand base for a more permanent fix for the ‘pods’, the base had to be large enough to accommodate wheelchair access as well to cover all bases.
So, work began early March with a small working party to manually dig out the grass and heavy sodden soil to prepare for the laying of very heavy 3×2’ concrete slabs, nearly killed us but as you can see by enclosed photos looks pretty good.
These will have been seen on Facebook for those who have an account with them.
Each pod is lockable at the end of an archery session and is equipped with disinfectant sprays and hand sanitisers, clearly we would respectfully ask that the ‘pods’ are left in a clean condition following use.
