We had a very productive day at F-Troop this morning having fourteen volunteers on hand to share the load.
We had Trevor Harrison, Peter Martin, Richard Casey, George Foster, Martin Gallagher, Geoff Bridge, Des Wilson, Garry Trigg, Bruce White, Ken Donald, Rob Benson, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.
It was Vets Day so we were restricted with our use of the course. Fortunately we had two big projects to work on that did not require us to work out on the fairways.
Working on the drainage system for the new cart shed we had Peter Martin, Trevor Harrison, Rob Benson, Des Wilson, Richard Casey and Garry Trigg. The work was completed in good time with many hands to help.
Working on the wedding garden area we had Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Martin Gallagher, George Foster, Bruce White and Jan Martin. The boys did a great job of replacing the timber edges of the garden which were a bit tricky as they are curved edges. Di, Anne & I worked on the garden sections where we removed the old white pebbles and created a new look agavi & succulent garden to compliment that area. Next week we are looking at the finishing touches to be completed which will be new white gravel for the paths and some red mulch for the highlights. All of the cost of this refurbishment has been funded from the sale of firewood - so our thanks to the members who have supported us by purchasing firewood. Keep your orders coming in so we can do more more projects.
During the week we received another donation of succulent plants from Bev Reynolds and a good supply of agavi's and other plants from Des & Yvonne Wilson. Our thanks to Bev, Des & Yvonne! We managed to get the most of the plants in this morning as well as mulching the new gardens and got part of the practice net gardens done.
Morning tea was well deserved after a hard morning's work. We enjoyed some fruit pastries warm from the oven - Thanks Chef John!
It was good to have some nice sunshine to work in after all the recent wet weather which has hampered some of our efforts.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
