After the Comfy Area had been revamped some members felt it was time to revamp the Kitchen a little.

This project has been completed and there no further plans to upgrade the Kitchen. The floor/painting and general clear out was done in summer 2018. Below is a record of plans outlined previously around 2016. Next job is likely the cupboards some of which are sagging.
