F-Troop on Monday was a washout so some of us had decided to front again on Thursday to make up for lost time. Unfortunately for Martin quite a few of his team had short term memory loss and did not turn up as scheduled - so Martin had to put his day plan on hold through lack of manpower.
It turned out to be a stroke of luck for me as I was able to secure Martin & Peter to my team for the day to tidy up and mulch the Wedding Garden. Warren Gray made the mistake of wandering over to see what we were doing and was soon handed a shovel. Bert Brink made a brief appearance before scurrying away (photo attached). Thanks for kicking in with some help Warren even though it was not scheduled into your day. I was very appreciative of the help from the F-Troop as it was quite a job to rake off all the sticks and leaves in and around the wedding garden. We took two full trailer loads to the 6th tee to act as mulch there.
We put on about half of the woodchip mulch today before calling it a day with the intention of returning tomorrow to finish the job.
I think Martin was out of his comfort zone not having a tree to deal with but did a superb job on the shovel & rake as did Pete and Warren. The area was looking so much better that I have captured the moment on film for tomorrow and the weekend is forcast for more rain & high winds - so it could be a case of 'play it again Sam' on Monday.
