Mayflower helps Athletic Venue get up and running
|
| Wednesday 10th March 2010 |
Boston Mayflower has been helping a community sporting organisation build a new home.
The housing association got together with its maintenance contractor Kier Building Maintenance to work on the Boston and District Athletic Club’s (BDAC’s) new B-Hive venue in Punchbowl Lane, Boston.

This included installing a long jump pit and pole vault boxes, and putting up wooden panels donated by Finnforest around the interior walls.
Development Officer for BDAC, Peter Arnott, said: “We were really delighted with the help - and grateful for it.
“Everyone who has come to training sessions here since the work started has been really excited and impressed by the way the venue is shaping up. It has created a real buzz.
“We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to Boston Mayflower and Kier for their efforts to help their community.”
The club hopes the venue will be fully finished before the start of the 2012 Olympics so it can host events of its own for athletes from around the country - and encourage more youngsters to take part in athletics.
Boston Mayflower’s Repairs Manager David Collett said: “Our maintenance contractors, Kier, Aaron and DM Barthorpe, are committed to putting something back into the community they work in and have embraced Boston Mayflower's vision of ‘Promoting thriving, sustainable communities’.
“In partnership with Boston Mayflower, the contractors have pledged to contribute towards the delivery of that vision and look forward to helping further worthy causes in the local community.”
