New Update! The project and field is not complete. We are currently waiting for an update from the town and highway department regarding the padding and grass guard. There will be NO summer season at this point. The surrounding ground work has not been started. We just completed the surface curing time but without the leveling of the ground and padding, safety is an issue. We are currently hoping for a field opening event and a possible fall season but the lighting is also not functioning currently. Without lights, we cannot play. Once we have a clear direction, we will move forward with seasonal plans. After this week, half the field committee will be out on medical but we will continue to meet electronically for updates, the writing of the phase 3 grant proposal and progress meetings. This is currently out of our hands and we are at yet another stand still. WE will continue to advocate for this project to be done CORRECTLY versus rushing through the process doing it piecemeal just to get it done. We thank all of our players for your understanding during this process. Currently, I am working on some corporate donations for new and updated supplies, finding and training maintenance staff and serving as the liaison for the league on this project. I recently came back from a seriously needed FL break due to injuries and personal issues. However, I never stopped working and meeting with the team! WE ARE WORKING! We apologize for all of the delays but again we want this done RIGHT and will not accept less.

NEW UPDATE!!!

Locks are returning to the fence while the surface is curing. Now we wait for the grass guard on the fence, the Highway Department to work on the padding and all the seating and field accessories to arrive! We are working on the new sheds and sponsorship for them. We are getting there! Cannot wait to see it all coming together!

Installation almost completed! Estimate of tomorrow for the lying of the special surface materials. Surround is done and the trex bumper is installed. Under surface is almost finished then the bocce blend. Then a 4 week cure time! In the interim the grass guard needs to be installed on the fence and we need to figure out the padding and order all of the prefabricated seating and field markers. Funds will be released in a week or so. Sheds need to be worked on as well. I am going to remind everyone again, NO ONE IS TO TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THESE COURTS EXCEPT FOR THE TRAINED PEOPLE! This is a special bocce blend and has a procedure for maintenance. If anyone is caught or it’s been told to me that someone has put anything to this surface (IE. rake, broom, brush, ANYTHING), you will be immediately removed from the league!!! It slid by last season and trust me I know who touched them when told NOT to, making the courts worse as the season went along but it will NOT slide AGAIN! Not only is it against our insurance policy, It will VOID the warranty if it is found to be a maintenance error! You will continue to be reminded seeing it’s been years and we still have people taking upon themselves to do what they have been asked not to. For NOW it’s Rebecca and I until personnel can be trained and put to work. With that being said, I am looking forward to being half way completed in this 3 phase rebuild! The board appreciates all of your patience and support! We will be contacting everyone soon with playing plans as soon as we have an estimate of work completion. Each leagues representative will be contacting captains shortly! I will be away until July 29th. PLEASE forward all league questions to your leagues representative!

MONDAY: ME (remember I’m on vacation and I will contact you when I can. Don’t panic if I don’t answer right away).

TUESDAY: Barbara Pitera

WEDNESDAY: Rebecca Johnson

THURSDAY: Diane Preble

Jennifer DiPietro can you cover the FB messages and comments while I am away for both the page and the group, please?!

THANK YOU!!!

Alright!!! HERE WE GO!!!! How’s this for an UPDATE!!! Please at this time refrain from going to the field while the crew is working. There will be a lot of supplies and equipment going in and out of the site and I would appreciate the crew not getting distracted by visitors. Feel free to drive by but PLEASE do not go on the field. We are meeting next week to go over the plan for completion. I will be away from July 11-29 while the field is curing but will continue to keep you all updated on the progress. LET’S GOOOO!!!

Ok everyone, It’s time to share that the surface is on its way and the delay in construction could be over soon! Work is expected to start soon. Please be aware that the court construction takes approximately 2 weeks but there is a 4 week curing time and the fields concrete padding will then be installed. The new seating, court accessories, tables, etc also need to be completed. Please continue to check in for future updates regarding game plans. The board will be meeting to discuss these plans as soon as construction begins and we confirm a completion date.

Ok, I should have an update on Saturday after town meeting. If you are a Somerset resident get out there and vote yes on phase 2 which includes all of the seating, tables & field accessories (new score boards, ball holders, line markers, etc). We have been extremely discouraged with the slow progression of the project but we know, we will get it done and done correctly. We are NOT settling for a sub par field rebuild. The committee and myself will be at the town meeting at 10 AM on Saturday at the Somerset High School! I will answer as many questions as I can at that point. A little delay will only benefit in the long run and we we continuing to ask for patience as we work through the process. With that said we are going to start Socializing Wednesday! Supporting local programs for people to attend while they wait for bocce to begin. Start looking for the post and share with your friends. If you know of an activity, event or program coming up and would like to feature it please let us know and or post on Wednesdays only. This page is for bocce news only but in the interim, WHY NOT!!!
