NAVRO club house construction 1

Alblasserdam, 22 February, 2007 - The construction of our club house has finally started. Today the frame, on which the club house will be constructed, was made.

The next week will be used to make the connections for the sewer, electricity and water. Following that we will clear the site of rubble and trim the brambles. The actual construction will start on 19 March.
