TheMoonlighter 499 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 We're needing a wee repair job done on the Founders Plaque at Fleshers Haugh, nothing major.It's brass and sits on a wooden plinth.The heat inside the Football Centre has bevelled it . It needs re-mounted.It happened before, but the guy who manufactured it for us and repaired it wasn't very good to deal with at all.Nice wee job for a Bear .Here she is.If anyone can help please send an email to :thegallantpioneers@googlemail.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Do the tour http://www.thegallan...ders-Trail.htmlThe Gallant Pioneers generously donated two free tour tickets to our Sponsors' Fund raffle, so I'm glad that some RM Bears were able to do something for them in return. I'm already booked on my tour - I'll inspect their handiwork then Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_ger 1,454 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Off topic but are they building something next to the sports centre. Just been on google maps which has a large area between the river and the centre where the ground has been cleared? Is this recent? Other areas of the city have recently been updated on google maps.
