Final Weekend

Cleaning the Grand Pavilion for Derbyshire Open Arts progressed well over the weekend. The Canteen is now clean and ready for use, as is the Grey Room.

We have stripped of all the carpet times in the corridor between and have nearly completed the cleaning of the exposed floor. It vas very sticky from the glue and the generations of beer that have been spilt onto it!

What has been exposed is the original Terrazzo floor, which can eventually be repaired, but is currently able to be used.

Thanks to the 15 or so volunteers who have worked so hard to get us to this stage.
