New food outlet nears completion

The Otters' new food outlet is almost finished.
After months of hard work by agroup of volunteers ably assisted by local build trades and suppliers the Chairman of the Narberth RFC, Mr Rob Lewis, has commented: “ it is great to see the new OTTERS food hut project nearly finished and soon it will be ready for handover”.
During the past few months Committee member Macphee, known as the Gangmaster, has mustered a group of local residents and supporters of the rugby club to carry out various tasks. The volunteers range in age from 19 years to 75 years and the scheme could not have been achieved without the willing support of business people who have donated funds, materials or their own specialist labour for concrete work, carpentry and plastering.
Committee man Dorian Phillips, a director in D P Building Supplies has been a major sponsor of materials and the volunteers were pleased to hear of his award of an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. An award well-deserved for all his long-standing community work.
Recently the internal flooring was laid throughout room which is 9m long and 4.5m wide consisting of a Kitchen/Bar servery area and a seated dining space for over 20 persons. The facility was designed by Narberth Architect Ken Morgan, also a Vice President in the Rugby Club, and it replaces a dilapidated Burger Hut which was deemed inadequate for modern catering needs.
The exterior walls are clad in European Larch which was sponsored by Andrew Davies of Ladd’s of Clunderwen. The internal walls were lined in an hygienic white cladding and stainless steel splashback kindly sponsored and fitted by Mark Thomson of HMBS group building contractors.
Kitchen fittings are currently being installed.
The next item for which donations are being sought is the installation of a glazed roof canopy outside the front entrance which faces the South west prevailing wind and rain. Ken Morgan is appealing for rugby supporters, local residents or businesses to help put the finishing touched to this new asset for the Championship side.
On the 25th July the Narberth & Whitland Rotary are due to hold an outdoor live music show called SUNDAY NIGHT FEVER and it is hoped that the new building will be able to provide some of the hospitality for the event
