Aim
The Club relies on its members to volunteer to maintain the grass. To do this we require a new user-friendly Lawn Mower

The Club has close ties with the community and hosts many charity events and joins many local programmes e.g Cafe Inc which provides free packed lunches for school children during school holidays etc, And also the Warm Place programme where by Locals can attend on a Tuesday for a free snack and friendly company to talk to.
