F-Troop - Monday 2nd January 2012

If you think that our volunteer F-Troopers do a fantastic job

giving TLC to our course then here is the place to show your

appreciation.

All donations received go towards the beautification of the course.

Today being a public holiday was not enough to keep our F-Troopers off duty.  Some (of course) have been tied up with family commitments but those that could come did.

We had Duncan Dyer, Martin Gallagher, Peter Martin, Bruce White, Sam Knox, Ron Beechey, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Georgina Lamb, Jan Walker and Jan Martin.

We managed to get a lot of good tasks done with limited helpers.  We were unable to access the tractor to complete the garden preparation at the 16th so in lieu of that we concentrated on the F-Troop Storage area, the Spike Bar Storage Room, the 1st and 10th tees and underneath the clubhouse, BBQ area and the car parks.

Duncan Dyer & Martin Gallagher got some good work done at the F-Troop storage area managing to get part of the roof completed.  

Sam Knox put in a good morning's work at the wood pile splitting wood for our firewood sales & then had the job of cleaning down the red carpet for the wedding garden.

Peter Martin, Bruce White & Ron Beechey cleaned out the Spike Bar Storage Room with Di Beechey & Anne Burgess.

That was a job and a half and was much needed.  The room looks so good now that all the unnecessary storage has been removed.  

Di Beechey & Anne Burgess arrived early & cleaned up the BBQ area, car parks & front entrance before starting on the Spike Bar area.

Georgina Lamb helped me to tidy up at the 1st & 10th tees and tidy up the climbing plants at the 10th tee. Georgina washed down the area underneath the clubhouse which was very untidy with all the holiday traffic.

Jan Walker weeded some gardens around the wedding garden and putting green & then helped us at the 1st & 10th tees.

The club was closed today being a Public Holiday so we improvised morning tea with Tea/coffees and biscuits from the Pro Shop.  It was very welcome as we had all put in a good morning's work.

After morning tea we worked on with cleaning underneath the clubhouse, weeding the front lawn area,  cleaning the water feature at the 1st, watering the gardens & filling the bird bath at the wedding garden, spraying the olive trees for disease, put up a plant support at the bubbler garden, removed the Christmas lights from outside the Pro Shop and fixed a broken tap.

 YES!  WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
