2014 Storm damage around the green.
Captain Ron's Storm damage report.
Thursday 14th Nov, tree fellers turn up at the club, actually  there were five fellers, to cut some of the branches of the trees that had been damaged in the high winds of last week.
Up went the ladder, then up went the man, like a rocket 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet, still going up. 50 , 60 feet. Â There he was dancing around in the branches cutting bits of here and there, he was beginning to look like an acrobat, swinging from branch to branch. I felt this was not part of the Captains duties to help this guy up there, so my feet stayed firmly on the ground.
Now all  is safe and secure,, and we can all play bowls without fear of branches dropping into the head , or should I say onto our head. Now spot the man in the tree , and remember Francis Drake has branches ever where.
