Our Little Gem Magnolia at the front of the clubhouse - coming into flower

The rain has brought down a lot of branches and loose timber around the course.  We had eleven starters to work on our projects which has helped a lot.

On hand we had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, David Medcalf, Frank Potter, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, John Hollebon, Laurelle Freeman and Jan Martin

Projects worked on today was undercutting trees, loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course with multiple loads going to the dump area, hedge maintenance, dead heading agapanthus around the course, tidy up of gardens at the 14th and 15th, transplanting bromeliads from the 15th garden to the back of the 10th tee garden, tidying garden at the back of the 10th tee, weeding the path at the practice nets garden.

We appreciated our morning tea of fresh sandwiches and lack of rain while we worked.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
