 Another highlight of the day was to see the great work done by the F-Troopers and in particular the RSL Golf Club Members Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls and Nathan Allan on the cart shed structure.  I cannot speak highly enough of all the Members who have donated their time and skills to this project and it will be a huge benefit to the club.
