Golf - Thursday 13th April 2017

There were no carts allowed on the course today and there were insufficient players for a Ladies Competition.

I understand that there was one match played on the 4BBB play off and that was won by Bev and Jan.

The weather forecast is promising for the long Easter Weekend so we are looking forward to a good long weekend of golf.

F-Troop Monday 10th April 2017

F-Troop Morning Tea - John Hollebon, Peter Martin, Trevor Harrison,

Duncan Dyer, Don Nicholls, Kevin O'Brien, Steve Hogg, Geoff Bridge

(Rob Benson and Jan Martin)

New paving work at the Wedding Garden

More weeding done at the 6th Native Garden

The standard Rose at the putting green

suffered a near death experience in the wild winds

saved by our F-Troopers

We had a very chilly start to our morning with some cold winds keeping our jumpers on.

On hand we had Trevor Harrison, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O'Brien, John Hollebon, Geoff Bridge, Steve Hogg, Rob Benson, Peter Martin, Don Nicholls and Jan Martin

The course was still very wet so our projects today were centred around the clubhouse.  Projects done were replacing some lattice work at the back of the clubhouse, laying pavers in the Wedding Garden, saving the standard white iceburg rose at the putting green where the high winds had broken the rose supports, rubbish and loose timber pick up around the course, trimming the hedges around the course, cleaning of the bush toilets, tidy up of the gardens at the 14th green space and plantingin two donated plants, tidy up of the 6th tranquility garden, more weeding done at at 6th Native garden.

Morning tea was very welcome where we enjoyed savoury breads, easter buns and iced buns. Thank you Barto!

After morning tea the boys did our first delivery of firewood while we added some extra supports to the iceburg rose and dead headed the roses to take some weight off the bushes.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Birthday Wishes for Kevin O'Brien at Gosford Hotel

We had all blue skies and sunshine today at the Village Green together with a nice breeze which we hoped would dry out the course. Unfortunately tonight we did get the predicted thunderstorm and more rain which was unwanted as the course was muddy in places but overall not too bad. Our playing partners were Owen and Fran James who were great company and we did enjoy some highlights the best of which was Peter's birdie on the 15th and we did chime in with some 3 pointers.

EASTER CHILDREN'S DISCO was a huge success with 115 children attending with their families staying for dinner and the raffles.

Some were not as impressed with the Easter Bunny as others

Members Lounge full

The quiet zone in the Magnolia Room

Some good moves on the dance floor

Our young guests had a wonderful time and enjoyed the music, face painting, balloons, dinner pack, gift pack of crayons and colour books and thankfully all the parents and grandparents survived the night which was well organised by Bron Carroll.
