We had a very rewarding number of 17 volunteers (+ 2 Junior volunteers) at F-Troop today to tackle the mess that was left on the course by the high winds yesterday.

On hand were Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Sam Knox, Kevin O'Brien, Garry Trigg, Steve Hogg, Rob Benson, Terry Coyle, John Hollebon, Ron Gowing, Don Nicholls, Mark Stimpson, Peter Martin, Andy Henebury, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess & Jan Martin (+ Joel Martin & Emily Martin)

Our projects worked on today were removal of the fallen timber on the 17th, rake up of the Bunya Pine area on the 17th, trimming of the Hydrangeas on the 3rd tee, weeding of gardens on the 3rd tee, new signs on the bush toilets, cleaning of the Bush Toilets and watering the gardens at the greenspace on the 14th, cleanup of the 1st and 10th tees, cleanup of the wedding garden and practice nets, watering the gardens at the 1st & 10th tees, wedding garden, putting green gardens, around the clubhouse gardens, BBQ garden, 18th tee gardens and camellias, tidy up of the 6th tranquility garden,
dead headed some of the agapanthus on the 5th, started on weeding some of the 6th native garden, watering the pots at the 6th, bike garden, 9th ladies tea & 9th green, tidying the wedding gazebo, watering the pots, cleaning the leaves out of the ponds, dead heading the roses at the putting green, and the most important project of all was loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course.

Our gardens are suffering from burn off with the unusually high temperatures and sadly we will loose some.

Morning tea was very welcome as everyone put in a hard morning's work - thank you to Barto for our goodies which were especially appreciated by my Emily (the chocolate donuts were yum!)

See my following post regarding the Bunya Pines which are particularly dangerous in the months of January and February.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
