Page (not on any live menu) created by Rob to display most of the useful-looking photos on the site as at 19/2/2021, for use by whoever is editing the site. (This is because there's no useful photo browse facility, and no faciltiies to organise photos into albums nor even to give them meaningful names). They are in alphabetical order of name. There were over 200 on the database; this selection is about a third of them. Hopefully this will help find existing photos for new pages, rather than unnecessarily loading more – perhaps duplicates or near duplicates. You can find the name of a photo by right clicking on it (with this page open in edit mode) and then selecting "image properties". Oddly, the pop up menu when you right click on an image when not in edit mode is very different, and contains some useful-looking features, but I haven't the time to onvestigate, and am not convinced they'd work well. 

I'm going to create a new page – images2021 – to keep any useful photos loaded to the site since 19/2/2021.

>>>>> Another weird feature of Drupal. If you have a photo on a page and specify one dimension of size (e.g. height) explicitly, but have the padlock symbol closed to presevre the aspect ratio, then the other dimension of size (width in this case) adjusts automatically to preseve the aspect ratio, as you'd hope. BUT when the user resizes the screen / window or views it on another device, the aspect ration changes horribly.  If instead you have an image with the height and width fields blank (unchanged) then the aspect ratio is preserved even when you resize the screen. VERY VERY NASTY.   <<<<<

 

 

                                                                                                                           

                                     

Grants and Sponsorships

We are extremely grateful for grant funding that we have received towards the substantial cost of our re-development work in 2020/21. This followed the extension of our lease to include the adjacent redundant bowls club. We extended the irrigation from our own borehole, removed ditches and completely re-laid the bowling greens creating 4½ croquet courts.  We have created a level access and a multi-use space in the West pavilion and improved the layout and facilities in our existing East pavilion.

In total over £100,000 has been invested, some of it from funds that we had been putting aside for such a day, some from generous support from our own members, some from a very successful crowd-funding campaign and some from the following organisations who have provided grant funding.
