F-Troop Monday 30th March 2009

It was a huge day for F-Troopers with many hands needed to cope with the workload. We had 22 workers today and that was a great help to get a lot of work achieved.

We welcomed three new F-Troopers - Richard Korff, Chris Dekker and Jan Walker who put in some good hours of work to help out.

Today we had on duty Garry Trigg, Geoff Bridges, Bert Brink, Des Wilson, Warren Gray, Mark Stimpson, Bruce White, Peter Martin, Spencer Walklate, Clyde Cruickshanks, Richard Korff, Duncan Dyer, Doug Incoll, Robin Incoll, Chris Dekker, Di Beechey, Ron Beechey, Jan Walker, George Foster, Martin Gallagher and Roger Horsenell helping Duncan Dyer with the tree felling.

Garry Trigg did a shift on the rough cutter, Des Wilson & Bert Brink were busy on the 7th with the drainage work, George Foster and Warren Gray were on tree felling & rubbish pick up work,

Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridges, Spencer Walklate, Duncan Dyer, Roger Horsenell, Mark Stimpson, Bruce White and Doug Incoll were on tree felling. Clyde Cruickshanks, Richard Korff and Chris Dekker worked on the Practice Nets garden. Chris Dekker also weeded the putting green gardens. Jan Walker cleared and raked the front area of the clubhouse, Robin Incoll sprayed the Azaleas at the putting green gardens and cleaned up the car park area. Di & Ron Beechey trimmed and weeded the 12th green hedge, the 13th garden, the garden at the 2nd green, the magnolia garden and the front lawn and gardens. Peter Martin trimmed the lilly pilly at the ladies 10th tee, the shrubs in the 12th tee garden, raking and cleaning at the front of the clubhouse, helped with the rubbish pick up while I sprayed and dead headed the roses and raked and cleared around the first tee, added some new soil to the Daintree Pine on the 15th.

In all it was a great days work with most of the work done before the showers set in.

It is always good to welcome new members to our F-Troop even if your contribution can only be small - it all helps. I am currently looking for someone (or a group of people) who would be willing to look after the indoor plants inside the clubhouse. This would require once a week watering, fertilizing as required. The board is also considering adding some potted plants to the front entry. If that happens I would also be looking for someone to look after them.

Please contact me (Jan Martin) if you would like to contribute in that way. A group effort is always an option for this type of work as someone can always be availabe if the other is away on holidays etc.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
