F-Troop - Monday 22nd July 2024

 


F- Troop Morning Tea - Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Peter Martin, Carolyn Buttsworth, Leeanne Binns, Duncan Dyer, David Medcalf, Mick Grant, (Rob Benson, Sam Knox, John Hollebon and Jan Martin)


What tree down on the 1st? F-Troop’s tree gang made short work of that problem.



Garden at the 2nd Green - plants that could be recycled have been removed so that the garden area can be cleared for drainage pipes from the 2nd green to the dam.



Bromeliads from the second green garden have been placed loosely in the shady garden at the Men’s 15th tee. We have got more plants than we need so Members can feel free to take as many plants as you like so they can all be recycled.



Agave plants have been cut and ready for removal. Any that can’t be recycled will be destroyed so take as many plants as you like. They range from very small to large sizes.

Another chilly early morning start but that did not deter our Troopers.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Mick Grant, John Hollebon, Peter Martin, David Medcalf, Leeanne Binns, Carolyn Buttsworth and Jan Martin.

The large tree that fell over the weekend at the 1st tee was first priority for our tree gang. 5 trailer loads of rubbish was removed from the site. Fortunately there was no damage done to the retaining wall. Further work was done on the removal of fallen tree at the back of the 4th green.

Second priority was picking up of loose timber around the course. Rob Benson collected three Ute loads and he only got as far as the 5th in 3 hours.

Other projects worked on were firewood delivery, hedge maintenance, removal of plants from the 2nd green garden, relocation of plants from that garden that could be recycled, weeding of garden at the Mens 3rd tee, watering of garden at the Ladies 2nd tee, blowing of both car parks and back of clubhouse and tidy up of keg room in the clubhouse.

Morning tea was much appreciated after a hard mornings work by all. It was nice to have some warm sunshine by then.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
