F- Troop Monday 26th July 2010

We had another big day at F-Troop today and it was definitely a case of more hands make lighter work. Our major project of the day was to re-arrange all the lockers in the Men's locker Room which was quite a huge task. F-Troop would like to acknowledge the assistance from Steven Binns, John Homer, Chris Bundy and Tony Starbuck, our young members who volunteered to assist with this project today and their help was invaluable. Thanks Steven, John, Chris & Tony !

Another acknowledgement today to Richard Casey who is one of our "Adopt-a-Garden" F-Troopers who also volunteered to help with the "Locker Move". Thanks Richard! Your help was much appreciated.

We had 10 of our regular F-Troopers on hand which made the tasks a lot easier - Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridge, Bruce White, George Foster, Des Wilson, Warren Gray, Peter Martin, Yvonne Wilson, Georgina Lamb.

The boys all focused on the "Locker Move" which was done with great planning and precision. I saw the finished result and give credit for a job well done as it would not have been an easy task.

Martin, Geoff & Warren also did some rubbish pick up around the course and Martin & Geoff managed to find some time for some work with the firewood.

Georgina & I focused on the gardens. Georgina planted some new plants at the Ladies 2nd tee garden & then helped me with planting some new begonias & a tidy up at the Ladies 3rd Tee garden; planted some new succulents & a tidy up at the 5th tee; trimmed the olive trees at the 15th; weeded, raked and tidied at the Ladies Garden at the 13th tee; watered in the new plants at the 2nd tee; watered & cleaned the potted plants under the clubhouse; swept & vacuumed the walkway; washed down the table & chairs & seating outside the clubhouse; weeded, raked & tidied the Wedding Garden & around the putting green; cleaned the front steps & around the club entrance.

Yvonne trimmed & tidied the "Bird of Paradise" garden at the 15th; planted some new plants & cleaned up at the "Bush Toilet" garden at the 14th; trimmed & poisoned weeds at the "Oleander" garden at the 5th Men's tee.

This morning's morning tea was some yummy croissants with Jam & fresh cream - Thanks Chef John! We made short work of them.

In all a great effort by everyone.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
