Course

The drainage works commenced a couple of weeks ago have basically been finished but need a lot of tidying up and a few further improvements. We will be negotiating with the contactor about this.

Further drainage maintenance works will be completed in coming weeks.

Working Bee this Sunday 7^th April

Don’t forget there’s a working bee on Sunday at 8am, real time….no excuse for turning up at 9am cos you haven’t put your clocks back!!!

The main tasks in trimming the trees on the Front Nine have been allocated to those who have already put their hands up already but we encourage more to attend.
