Watch this space for some upcoming improvements

We had a cool and showery day this morning but it was not enough to stop our projects from going ahead.

We had eleven volunteers which was a great number to share the pick up load after some windy days.

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

The tree gang of Duncan Dyer, Geoff Bridge, Trevor Harrison and Garry Trigg were kept busy all morning starting with cutting up two large fallen branches at the putting green garden and the 1st Tee and then moving on to the 5th tee and trimming the liquid Amber trees at the 11th. Eight trailer loads of cuttings were taken to the dump.

Rob Benson and Warren Gray made some good inroads in rubbish pick up around the course and then worked on fence repairs at the 18th. Two ute loads of rubbish were taken to the dump.

Peter Martin and Don Nicholls cleaned up at the back of the clubhouse, raking and picking up rubbish, cleaned up at the 18th green, picked up rubbish from the front street garden and worked on fence repairs at the 17th.

Di Beechey and Anne Burgess cleaned up the front and back car parks, the BBQ garden, underneath the clubhouse, the garden at the 2nd green and tidied up the storage room in the clubhouse.

I cleaned up at the Bush Toilets, fertilised the Orange Trumpet Vines at the 14th Tee, tidied up at the 6th tee, tidied up at the Ladies 3rd Tee, tidied up the garden at the school front fence, added potting mix and fertilised the big pots in the wedding garden, fertilised the other pots at the putting green, weeded the front garden near the pots, weeded the garden at the water bubbler at the 1st and 10th.

Scones, jam and cream, topped up with some pro shop sausage rolls for morning tea was appreciated.  Thank you Chef Alice!

The recent nice slow rain has been great for the course and gardens, the dams are topped up and there was no damage done to bunkers or greens because the rain was not heavy.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
