Fire in Club Storage Area
At approximately 11pm last night, Saturday 23rd April, the Fire Brigade were called to contain and extinguish a fire in the Club Storage area of The Lakes Clubhouse.
We are very sorry to advise that some of the Members and Club property stored in this area have been damaged.
We are working with our Insurer Company to schedule an Assessor to come out to the Club and provide their report on the situation and are hopeful that any damaged equipment will be covered under the Clubs Insurance. We will advise respective Members once the Insurer has completed their assessment.
In the meantime, we have been advised no-one is to enter the Storage area until the Insurance assessment has been conducted.
We are extremely sorry for any damage to Members equipment and are doing what we can to push this process through.
The Golf Shop also suffered some smoke and water damage and will remain closed for the immediate future. We will be operating a check-in counter from outside the Golf Shop but still plan on running with all scheduled timesheets and competitions.
The fire also impacted our electricity and water Supply to the Clubhouse, unfortunately meaning the Clubhouse had to remain closed today. We have restored power and are expecting the water supply issues to be resolved by Sunday evening so that we can have the Members Lounge and Locker Facilities re-opened for Monday.
We greatly appreciate Members understanding and patience during this difficult time and hope to return to normal operations as soon as possible.
