Hi All,
We are a volunteer organization and many people commit a significant
amount of time so that all members can enjoy the game and clubhouse
gardens and facilities.
Some of our new members have signed up as volunteers and I thank you.
We typically reserve Monday mornings (~7.30 start) for greens
maintenance, mow and maintain the grass surrounds and perform routine
pruning of the flower beds and bushes. Just show up and someone will
direct you. We also offer free coffee and treats to the volunteers.
I thought I’d share what we did today and some projects that need
additional help.
Monday morning crew: greens were mowed and rolled this morning. Rose and
clubhouse garden pruned and trimmed. Green surround and guest area grass
cut and edged.
Key Project to be done:
Garden/Rockery areas surrounding the green need weeding and plants and
bushes pruned.
Trees and bushes along Stanford Avenue need cutting back.
Car Park garden needs bushes pruned. (Ask Sandi or Lynne for details)
Mesh Fence needs painting green.
Virginia creeper needs to be cut back.
Cement plant pots in “Rock Garden” need painting and some new life.
Let me know by email if you have a burning desire to take on one of
these projects. I’ll review replies and allocate teams.
Thanks for your attention.
Andrew Adamson
Grounds Director
