\n Melton Constable Country Club unveiled its new look facility at a relaunch event on Saturday (February 28).\n<\/p>\n
\n The club, based at the Railway Institute building, hopes the transformation will open itself up more to the community.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mat Crowley, bar manager for the club, said the works were “much-needed” and was excited by the progress.\n<\/p>\n

\n He added: “The walls were crumbling, the decor was quite old. It was quite a cold and dated space to look at.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Now it looks really stunning. The works we’ve done have been really well-received and all the feedback from members has been positive.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We didn’t advertise too much because we wanted to keep people in suspense. We wanted somewhere for people to think ‘Wow, what a facility!'”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Among the works are a renovated stage, modern LED lighting, a new audio system and acoustic sound boards.\n<\/p>\n

\n The next phase of the works will see the games room being revamped, with a pool table, bar billiards and football table all planned.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s just nice to offer more to customers”, said Mr Crowley, “We’ve already seen more people coming into the club.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The snooker room that we have reopening upstairs, that was shut off, but it’s been cleared out now and become a hireable space, which has really taken off.\n<\/p>\n
\n “There’s still a lot more work to do, but you’ve got to start somewhere and we’re really pleased with what we’ve done so far”.\n<\/p>\n

\n The club now hopes to become a talking point and more attractive space to hire for weddings, parties and other celebrations.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Crowley said: “We can hold plays, we can do live music. We couldn’t really do those things before the works.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re also now open seven days a week and we’ve signed up some new members. It’s lots of little changes, but they’ve made a big impact”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Melton Constable Country Club unveiled its new look facility at a relaunch event on Saturday (February 28).
