Smaller space for the museum and its storage, and less time for its curator.

Thank God for Ian.

We can probably say with assurance that without him all of the magnificence that is the KCC wouldn't exist at all.

That would be a pretty good feeling to have as an individual (not that he would be one to self grandise).

Where is the room for the next one?

We bought 28 hectares for a reason

Question on behalf of a friend of mine. The pavers that were at Waverley with supporters names on them (I think they were surrounding the Kennedy statue), will they be relocated to Dingley, or does the club have other plans for them?

I read on here that apparently they can't be relocated due to it's not possible to excavate them without breaking them. I believe the club was going to notify supporters who have one of the situation but I'm not sure if this has happened as yet or how they will go about it.

Yep.
HE was this generations dr ferguson. Spent a heap of his own money each year to keep us in the green when the pressure was on to ship us out of the league.

Also credit to all the horny bastards who brought ansell products to ensure ian had the money to help us out

Went today, great set up as others have said surprised that the shop and museum are small. Especially the museum. Was always great to see Peter greeting you at the Museum at Waverley.

Following the completion of Stage 1 at the KCC, the Club is already embarking on Stage 2 of the project. A key focus is strengthening the Club’s long-term financial stability by commercializing the site and surrounding land.​

I have read a few comments on here about Stage 2 possibilities, but is there anything more concrete when and what this entails? Is commercializing the site linked to basketball courts, or something further?

edit

Stage 2 plans may include indoor courts, an allied health facility featuring radiology and community café to primarily serve the community within the City of Kingston.​

Maybe they need to consider the addition of a number of mature sized trees as wind breakers. Not something that usually gets considered on architectural plans.

Yes being so open to the elements will mean the occasional windy conditions could play havoc with training sessions.

Wonder if there was ever any thought to some form of wind breakers

The ground definitely needs trees for some shade. On hot days it will be really hot

Definitely needs more work done on the landscaping side. Bit barren and the moment, but that will come in due course I guess.
