We had a very busy F-Troop day working with a skeleton crew we managed to get through quite a bit of work.
On duty we had Martin Gallagher, Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Peter Martin, George Foster, Des Wilson & Yvonne Wilson.
Martin, Duncan & Geoff removed a dead tree and created some more split timber for firewood sales. After morning tea Martin & Duncan did some firewood deliveries around the coast.
Our timber sales have been going really well - our total firewood sales since we first started are gross sales of $2,250.00 with more sales to come. This has been a real boost to our many F-Troop projects. A big thank you to all our members who have supported our firewood sales.
Des worked in his capacity of Project Manager for the pro shop renovations. Yvonne assisted him & later worked out on the gardens.
George Foster helped me with some pruning work around the course. We pruned three crepe myrtles at the 5th, tidied up the sculptured lilly pilly on the 10th, removed the trunk of a dead tree fern at the back of the 10th tee & trimmed the tibouchina in the garden at the 1st tee. With Peter's help we also picked up some rubbish around the course.
Peter helped with the rubbish pick up and assisted with some labouring in the pro shop by removing rubbish with the gator.
I finished the day by cleaning up the garden at the 1st, raking up sticks and rubbish & weeding the garden ready to put in some more good garden soil in readiness for new plants.
F-Troop morning tea was a real treat. As well as some delicious fruit pastries from John's kitchen - Thanks John!, we also had a variety of yummy cakes from Leanne Binns which went over really well. Thanks Leanne - that made our day! We had a visit from George Brand who has previously donated many plants for our gardens. George was very impressed with morning tea & said he may be back next Monday.
Given our reduced number of helpers I was really impressed with how much work we achieved.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
