HIGH MOSS is closed until FRIDAY MAY 10th. We are having the complete roof renewed. This work will also include taking down the troublesome chimney stack which has been a source of damp ingress and having it rebuilt with new flashing installed. New Kingspan type insulation is being fitted along the section of roof that is normally inaccessible from the loft. This should reduce the damp that is visible in the bedrooms due to condensation. The building was scaffolded on Wednesday the 10th April. To get the job done quickly the roofers and builders are living at High Moss and will be working over Easter. I’ll keep everyone informed as the work progresses.

High Moss will be closed from 15th April 2019 to the 10th May 2019. The roof is being renewed and extensive work inside will be done. The entire building is to be scaffolded. The roofers and builders are living at High Moss for the duration of the project. So please don’t go. We will keep news of the project up to date on the club website.

Amongst the ongoing work at High Moss Boece has fitted a new fireplace in the dining room and it looks good.
