AGL LOCAL COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM
​
The Club has been successful in being awarded an AGL Local Community Investment Program Grant to fund the cost of a boom sprayer plus weed-killer chemicals for one year of treatment of the courts. The grant is for $1,255 and will be particularly useful to ensure that treatment can be completed in a reasonable time when the Club has four courts to maintain.
Annual Court Maintenance

The annual court maintenance, verti-drain (type of coring) and scarifying, was carried out on Thursday 14th November 2019.
