Work being done on Walter’s Wall

Over the long weekend, May 18th and May 19th, 26 + people showed up each day to work on a dry stone wall project , in honour of Walter Gerow, a member of the mens’ team who died last summer.  The wall was set out and then the members of the club built the wall over the two days. With so many hands at the club, the projects tackled were expanded, and before the weekend was over, an estimated 600 hours of community, volunteer hours had been spent working on the club and its surroundings!!

From grass cutting , tree felling, hole digging and  wall building, everyone made contributions. The place looks fantastic!! We are all ready to host the home opening games for Men’s 1 and 2, women and U14, but we don’t have a schedule yet!!

Please take a few minutes to admire the work that these members put into our club, and catch the spirit, if you can help to keep up the quality of the club to this level, we have without doubt one of the best clubs in the Province!
