URGENT MESSAGE
It’s with deep regret that I have to stand down as Green Keeper.
Due to lack of commitment from members, today the end of season work has stopped, after putting many hours in on my own to get the green in the position as in the photo today i needed members to help and only two turned up,
One of which stayed 1/2 hour then to leave to play in a comp on another green.
I am no longer prepared to put time and effort into your green giving you a good surface to play on when members can’t give a few hours at the end of the season ( one weekend )
I will be at the green tomorrow morning at 9.00 to hand the green over to the members.
To Finnish the work you will need at least 6 -8 members in attendance at 9.00.
Machinery has be hired and needs to go back tomorrow afternoon.

Big thanks to Colin for helping out today cutting the green ready for our game tonight as I’m out of action with back issues, this maybe a long term problem the section needs to prepare for.
