A big difference here - paving yet to be done and seats to be put in place.

Taking down the starters box has opened up this whole area.

Easter holidays was no handicap for our volunteer F-Troopers.

We had eleven volunteers today which was great as we had a large project to complete.

On hand were Duncan Dyer, Rob Benson, Steve Hogg, Geoff Bridge, Terry Coyle, Peter Martin, John Hollebon, Sam Knox, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

Being a public holiday with a lot of players on the course the boys concentrated on the first tee area where the starters box was to be demolished. The glass windows were removed and the rest of the structure pulled apart and removed, the paths, gardens and area behind the starters box was tidied up. A job well done by the troopers.

John Hollebon focused on the hedges at the clubhouse tidying up that area.

Di Beechey and Anne Burgess cleaned up around the clubhouse, tidied up gardens and paths at the first and 10th tees and raked up the hedge clippings.

I tidied up the Wedding Gazebo, watered, sprayed and fertilised the Mandevillias, swept out the gazebo and removed the leaves, fertilised the Mandevillias at the 10th tee, tidied the garden there, cleaned up at the 14th bush toilets, the 6th tranquility garden and fertilised the Mandevillias, tidied up the ladies 3rd tee, tidied up the 2nd green garden, trimmed off the damaged branches and leaves on the Tibbouchina garden near the clubhouse.

We enjoyed morning tea of Easter Buns (as you do at Easter) 

The course was very wet from yesterday's rain so we had no need to do any watering.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
