Line Marking Demonstration
It was very pleasing to see a good rollup at the session last Tuesday. Kevin Carney offered to take on the role of leader to replace Mike Lynch. After Mike had demonstrated the task, Kevin and his team took over. As you will have seen, this resulted in white lines being renewed on both greens. Kevin has set up a roster to continue and will do the black lines on both greens Monday Feb 10th. There will be rolling stoppages on both greens.
He is to be commended for his initiative and please give him full support in this important role. Mike Lynch will continue to act as a consultant and is thanked for his work over many years.
