March was a very wet month which restricted our use of the course for tree maintenance and use of heavy equipment.
We are averaging 12/13 volunteers every Monday morning which helps to keep our projects rolling. More volunteers are always welcome as it shares the work load
One of our main projects was the laying of pavers underneath the outdoor furniture in front of the clubhouse.
We did manage to get some rubbish pick up done along with the clearing of blocked drains and repairing a hole in the boundary fence.
Hedge maintenance has continued and trimming of shrubs where necessary. A special effort has been made to reduce the size of the hedge overlooking the 18th green which gives the Pro Shop a better view of the course and makes for easier maintenance in the future.
Gardening maintenance has continued with weed removal and clearing of rubbish from the gardens with special attention made to the front gardens where shrubs have been trimmed and old plants replaced, the 6th Native garden and 6th tranquility garden, 15th gardens, 18th gardens and the BBQ gardens. More donated plants have been added to the 14th greenspace. The front street gardens and lawns have been maintained. Some more weed removal was done on the fairways. Plumbing repairs in the clubhouse have been done as required.
A big thank you goes to our supporting members who have donated cash and plants for our gardens so that we can continue with our various projects.
Firewood orders are starting to come in so if members require firewood for this winter get your orders in to Peter Martin to avoid disappointment.
Our thanks go to “Barto” for supplying our morning tea that he supplies every Monday Morning.
F-Troop meets at the green keepers shed at 7.00am on most Monday mornings with morning tea approximately 10.30am. Feel free to join us if you have 3 hours or so of time to volunteer your assistance. Casual helpers are also welcomed.
