17/11/09 Raupo Green Refurbishing

As you will have noticed the front tier of Raupo, (hole 2 and 11), has been leveled and in the coming weeks will be prepared for sewing. At the present there is a drop zone if you land on the new surface. Once the surface has been sewn with grass it is very important that it is left to take before it is walked on. At that time we will construct a temporary green at the front of the green which you will play to, therefore avoiding contact with the newly sewn area. Check out the notice board in the foyer for details. Your patient over this period is appreciated.
