The girls tidied up under the clubhouse car park and BBQ area, made a start on cleaning out the agapanthus garden, cleaned up and watered the gardens at the 14th bush toilet area, tidied up the tranquility garden at the 6th tee, cleaned up the Ladies 3rd Tee, cleaned up at the wedding garden, watered the potted plants, checked the water feature and watered the putting green garden.
Fortunately we have not had any further large branches down on the course this week.
We collected $65 in cash from our donation tin in the Pro Shop - a big thank you to our generous Members and supporters.
YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
