F-Troop - Monday 29th July 2013

We had a beautiful day for F-Troop work today.  We had eleven volunteers which meant we could get some good projects done.

We had Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Rob Benson, Garry Trigg, Warren Gray, Bruce White, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin to share the load. Our tractor driver Geoff Bridge is off duty while he recovers from surgery.  Wishing you all the best from the Troopers Geoff!

The Tree Gang of Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Garry Trigg and Bruce White did the under cutting of trees on the 1st and 2nd fairways.

Rob Benson & Warren Gray did some good rubbish pick up around the course.

Peter Martin, Trevor Harrison & Don Nicholls did some general maintenance - fixing a chain to the cart shed door, removing a dead Crepe Myrtle tree at the 10th, filled some holes with soil at the 10th, cleaned up the old garden soil deposit pile at the 16th fairway, cleared up the rubbish from the trimming of all the crepe myrtles around the course and placed a staghorn at the 4th fairway.

Anne Burgess cleaned up the BBQ area including the BBQ kitchen, watered all the newly planted gardens at the 14th, cleaned the bush toilets & watered the gardens there, planted some new camellias in Camellia way and watered the gardens there, planted out some Kangaroo Paws (donated by Don Nicholls) at the 10th garden, watered the gardens at the 1st and 10th included the new red hedge, watered the bike garden and helped with the crepe myrtles.

With the good help of Don Nicholls I trimmed all of the Crepe Myrtles on the course, cleaned up the ladies 3rd tee, watered the new staghorn (donated by Sam Knox), watered the new plant at the tranquility garden at the 6th, watered the new grevilleas at the 13th ladies garden, watered some of the new trees, chipped weeds from around the Lemon Magnolia, watered the potted plants at the wedding garden, watered the gardens around the front steps and cleaned down the front steps and entrance to the clubhouse.

For Morning Tea we celebrated Don Nicholls 74th birthday (coming up this Thursday) with a beautiful freshly cooked sponge cake with Jam & Cream made by Chef John.
Thanks Chef John!   It got the popular vote from the troopers - leaving a few small left overs for the Pro Shop and Office Staff.

After morning tea the troopers helped to load up a firewood supply into Martin's trailer for delivery.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

F-Troop - Monday 22nd July 2013

It was another icy morning for F- Troop but we had some good help with eight volunteers reporting for duty.

We were restricted on the course by a Social Group of 100 players with an 8 o'clock shotgun start.

We had Peter Martin, Duncan Dyer, Rob Benson, Trevor Harrison, Don Nicholls, Garry Trigg, Warren Gray and Jan Martin to share the load.

The boys collectively worked together taking down a dangerous tree at the 14th bush toilets and mulched the new garden at the 14th.  Trevor & Peter collected a trailer load of rubbish from the front garden where I mainly worked today.  The gardens at the 14th, 1st and 10th tees were watered a rubbish picked up at the car park, 1st and 10th tees.  A new plant was donated for the tranquility garden at the 6th tee and that was planted and watered in.

Morning tea of huge giant muffins were welcomed after a cold morning's work.  Thanks Chef John!

The front street gardens are a work in progress and when finished will improve the "First Impressions" of the front car park which should remain much tidier now that the big tree has been removed and the danger of falling branches is gone.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
