QEII Gazebo

The construction of a gazebo for the Brig-O-Doon Nursing Home was commenced on 14^th July 2001. Through the excellent direction and support of our “resident builder” Paul Straka the construction was completed in September of that year.

The gazebo was officially opened by the Member for Algester Karen Struthers on 13^th April 2002. Whilst it was a successful club project attended by a large number of members and their partners, the final success was directly attributable to Paul’s planning, guidance and hard work.

 

In 2012, after a long absence from the QEII Hospital, the Club identified the opportunity to undertake the construction of a gazebo for the Hospital.  A major project to celebrate the 50^th Year had been planned, but circumstances outside our control saw that project postponed.  It was decided to make the gazebo our 50^th anniversary project.

 

This was the first significant “hands on” project undertaken by the Club in a number of years. All the members agreed it was a personally satisfying exercise.
