Being a long weekend we had an informal F-Troop day.

Peter Martin and Trevor Harrison did a rubbish and loose timber pickup around the course and did some small tree maintenance including tree stakes at the 17th Fairway.

DI Beechey and Caroline Buttsworth took care of some watering of various gardens and replaced the water feature at the 18th and planted in some new azalea shrubs.

I cleaned up and did some watering at the 14th Bush Toilets, gardens at the 14th tee, new trees at the 17th, gardens at the 10th, wedding garden, putting green, did some trimming of the shrubs at the club front steps and trimmed the small hedge leading down to the tees, cleaned the water feature at the 10th.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
