F-Troop - Monday 30th June 2014

For a freezing cold winter's morning we had a good turn up of twelve volunteers for our projects today.

We had Trevor Harrison, Geoff Bridge, Don Nicholls, Garry Trigg, Rob Benson,Warren Gray, Peter Martin, Duncan Dyer, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Carolyn Buttsworth and Jan Martin.

The boys had several projects on hand this morning which included cutting up a fallen tree on the 8th fairway, trimming the small tee on the left of the 10th tee, removing dangerous boards from the 11th Tee that become slippery in wet weather, transporting mulch to the 18th garden, putting a birdcage in place in the tree at the 6th tee; trimming dead branches from the tree at the 6th tee, erecting a vertical garden at the 1st tee and doing general rubbish pickup from around the course (of which there was plenty after the wild winds of the weekend)

The girls were kept busy with the main project being the mulching and watering of the new garden at the 18th tee.  Other jobs done were cleaning up at the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 13th and the bush toilet area as well as watering as many gardens and pots as possible, placing the watering can at the 13th garden, the birdcage at the 6th tee, and planting in the new vertical garden at the 1st tee.

Morning Tea was really appreciated after a hard few hours and we made short work of the mini cakes and slices - thank you Chef Brad!

Our thanks to Bob Thomas for his contributions of the Windmill (18th Tee), Birdcage (6th Tee), Watering Can (13th Tee) and Wheelbarrow (yet to arrive at the 13th Tee) to give us some interest to see in the gardens.

Our Thanks and appreciation to the RSL Club Social Golfers who have matched the Central Coast Leagues Club Social Golfers with a donation of $200 which gives us a total of $400 for our F-Troop projects.  Our thanks also to Carolyn Buttsworth for her donation of $50 towards some new plants for the 18th tee garden.
With support like this we can make good things happen. Thank you to all of our supporters!

We produced a vertical garden for the 1st tee from an old obsolete pallet and filled it with plants donated by Brian & Lesley Gregory - zero cost to the club.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
