| 109 RECREATION Belleknowes Golf & Brent Lucas Builders Belleknowes Golf Club will celebrate its centenary in October in its new clubhouse. The club is extremely grateful that Francis provided his services at no cost. There has also been a lot of good will on the part of Brent Lucas Builders, with no increase in material costs during construction at a time of high inflation in the industry, along with the subcontractors who have gone the extra mile, Gordon says. Located on the same site as the original clubhouse at the highest point of the course, it features extensive glazing to maximise the sweeping panorama beyond as well as providing views onto the fairways. A verandah allows for al fresco seating while watching golfers play out the last hole. Although everything in the original clubhouse was lost, some trophies were in member’s houses and most of the noticeboards can be replicated from photographic references to recreate the strong visual sense of heritage and history that is common in sports clubs. “The local community are very interested in it, and are very keen to see the building completed, as it will be a real asset to the Belleknowes community. “We are very fortunate it’s close to the university and the students like the vibe of the course and they play it regularly as green fee players.” House Site Prep Driveways General Cartage Retaining Walls Landscaping Prep FarmWork Proud to be providing quality excavation solutions to Brent Lucas Builders. 021 554 459 info@excavationplus.co.nz www.excavationplus.co.nz Proudly associated with Brent Lucas Builders & Belleknowes Golf.
