Op Shop Ball - to be held on Saturday 3rd September 2011

There has been a correction for the date of the Op Shop Ball previously advertised for Sunday 21st August 2011.

The Op Shop Ball will be held on Saturday 3rd September 2011 in the Sunset Room - 6.30 pm for 7.00pm dinner.  Tickets $30 per head.  Dancing to follow dinner.

This was a very popular evening last year with some excellent outfits purchased from the Op Shops.

The best (or worst) dressed prizes were keenly contested. 

 I hope you have all been checking out the Op Shops for the perfect $20 purchase.  I have come up with a gorgeous black skirt - cost $11 discounted to $5.50 at the Salvation Army Op Shop sale. I am still searching for the perfect top to match.

Get your tables together & book now for a good fun night out.  See you there!

Golf - Sunday 14th August 2011

We had some very inconvenient rain to ruin the golf day for some.  The early starters managed to complete their matches so we did have some players that had a good day.

Golf - Saturday 13th August 2011

Magnolia Soulangiana

Magnolia Denudata

We had a magic day for golf - blue sky and sunshine with a promise of spring.  Spring is not far away as evidenced in our gardens showing promise of beautiful colour.  The Magnolias are magnificent and are a great show at the entrance to the starting tees.  My thanks to Ron Gowing for identifying the Magnolias as I have never known their correct botanical name. The Azaleas are responding well to TLC and are having the best show I have seen in the putting green garden.  The next few weeks will have them totally in full flower which will herald in the spring.

The last of the "Fireweed" on the first was removed and disposed of today which should be the last of the badly infested areas.  If you see any other infested areas report them to me and feel free to dispose of any stray fireweed that you see growing around the course by pulling the plant out by it's roots & placing it in the nearest garbage tin.  That will aid against re-infestation next year.
