Lifting edgeThe Club has recently had the Green edge running parallel with the Clubhouse lifted and reinforced as the existing edge material had collapsed causing the Green edge to slope away from the ditch. The work began by mechanically cutting back the existing turf and putting to one side for re-use. The old edging was then removed. The existing concrete edge perimeter was exposed and rods installed. This was shuttered to form the new edge and concrete poured in, it was then protected from frost whilst setting. The shuttering was then removed, the rootzone levelled and the turf replaced. |

In glorious bright and sunny January weather a few 'brave souls' decided to try out the 'Segways', all returned with limbs intact! |
