F-Troop Monday 20th June 2011

Another lovely sunny day was welcome at Gosford Golf Course.  The course is draining well with just a couple of wet fairways and soft spots.

We had a good turn up for F-Troop this morning considering it was the final day of the US Open which we would all liked to have watched.  I was impressed that our  workers were willing to donate their time knowing that we had a lot of rubbish pick up to be done.

Today we had Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridge, Peter Martin, Jan Martin, Garry Trigg, Richard Casey and Anne Burgess.

The boys set to work with the tractor and utes to pick up rubbish on the course that had been sitting for the last two weeks and then picked up some timber for firewood that had been donated to us from Wyoming.
That filled the whole morning so we did not get to any of the other tasks.

Anne Burgess worked on Camellia way, mulching the plants and planting out a new camellia "Debbie" that Anne had  donated.  Thanks Anne!  Camellia Way is going to look magnificent when all the shrubs mature.
Anne also cleaned up the BBQ area at the clubhouse.

I busied myself at the 17th garden, raking up sticks at the dogleg corner and partly weeding the garden. I was distressed to see that the rabbits had discovered the Hebe plants that I put in last week.  They have chewed them down to sticks which is a shame.  They are showing signs of regrowth so maybe they will recover if the rabbits get bored with them.

Morning tea this morning was fruit pastries and mini muffins - delicious - Thanks John!

We have our hands full preparing the gardens for the Garden Competition which is somewhere near the end of August/early September so you will see a lot of garden activity in the next few months so we can be at our shining best.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
