Green Closure & Laying Indoor Carpet

The green will close from sunset Saturday the 23rd of the month and the indoor carpet will be laid Sunday morning.

Looking for a few volunteers to help put the green to bed and remove most of the tables and chairs from the clubhouse.

The ditch liners need to be turned over and the benches placed under cover in the Joan Hazelton area.

Most tables and chairs to be moved from clubhouse into visitors changing rooms.

Meeting at around 10.00 am Sunday the 24th and normally takes about an hour.
