F-Troop - Monday 18th December 2023

 


F- Troop Morning Tea - Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Trevor Harrison, Peter Martin, Bev Way, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns, John Hollebon, Duncan Dyer and Sam Knox (Jan Martin)



My offsider Darcy on raking duty today


Leading up to Christmas we had a good number of volunteers who had time to give to our projects which was great.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Rob Benson, Peter Martin, Don Nicholls, John Hollebon, Bev Way, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns, Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were firewood preparation, loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course, hedge maintenance, Garden maintenance at the practice nets garden, Gardens at the 2nd, 3rd and 5th tees, 18th tee including watering of gardens where possible, blowing of paths at the BBQ gardens and around the clubhouse.

It was disappointing for us to know today that Ron Gowing has retired from F-Troop due to health issues. We really have appreciated Ron’s input over the number of years he has been coming. He has kept the front of the clubhouse and the paths to the tees and practice nets in pristine condition every Monday and his garden advice has been invaluable. Thank you for your efforts Ron and we will miss you. We hope your garden advice will still be at the end of the telephone.

Being school holidays the grandchildren need attention so one of my little ones helped me out for a couple of hours in the gardens before we headed off early to attend the other two grand daughter’s dance concert.

After a hard morning’s work morning tea was most appreciated.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
