C] RENOVATION OF MAYFAIR GREEN
Hamish will be starting the winter renovation of greens commencing with the coring of Mayfair Green on the morning of Saturday, 28 April. [Hamish was not aware of the SGM that morning]. Following the SGM Hamish would appreciate the assistance of about 8-10 men to pick up the corings so if you can possibly help please let Allan Langley know so he can compile a list of helpers. The machine Hamish will be using is fast and the job should be all completed by lunchtime so bring some work clothes and change into after the SGM !!
