F-Troop - Monday 30th December 2013













Today we had some great teamwork from our F-Troopers working on various projects around the course.

We had thirteen volunteers which helped to spread the load.  We had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Don Nicholls, Rob Benson, Mark (Zorro) Sorridimi, Nigel Asken, Peter Martin, Mark Stimpson, Di Beechey, Carolyn Buttsworth, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

Duncan and Geoff repaired the broken tail lights on the F-Troop Ute. I am pleased to be able to say that we had enough funds in our donation box to complete the payment for the ute repairs due to anonymous donations from Members and visitors to our donation box in the Pro Shop.  Thank you very much for your support.  The donations are put to good use in our F-Troop projects - be they small all large the donations collectively add up to something worthwhile for our club.

Trevor & Don completed the security bay project at the F-Troop sheds.

Nigel, Peter and Mark worked on removing rubbish from the dam on the 18th fairway and managed to get a lot of weed out of the dam with some difficulty.  The weed is very heavy and took its toll on the equipment
they used to drag the weed out.

Rob & Zorro did a sterling job picking up bark and rubbish from around the course and removing the garden rubbish from our bins.

Di and Carolyn worked tirelessly all morning cleaning up the car parks, underneath the clubhouse, around the wedding gardens and the 1st and 10th tees.

Anne did some watering and worked on her gardens in Camellia Way and helped out at the 1st and 10th tees.

I focused on the putting green area after cleaning up at the bush toilets, watering plants on the course and the wedding garden, cleaned out the gutters at the putting green and partly trimmed the hedges around the putting green, cleaned up at the 1st and 10th tees.

We did appreciate morning tea after a very hot morning's work.  Chef John provided some cake slices that went down well - Thanks Chef John!

The weed eradication in the dams will be an ongoing project as will be the bark pick up if the high winds persevere.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
