CLARKSTON SHOWS TRUE CLUB SPIRIT FOR 'MUCK in DAY'Despite the damp conditions over 30 members of your club took to the grounds armed with shear, loppers, saws, the odd chainsaw and a willing determination to improve their club. The task was simple but significant. After years for being untendend the ground around the club had become overgrown and in some points dangerous for the fabric of the club and courts. By the end of the day over 30 large bags of branches, Ivy and weeds had been sent to compost and the area around the club transformed.
The front of the club also looks 100% better thanks to the efforts of the gents bowlers who gave the 'old girl' a lovely new coat of white. The were only just beaten by the weather and reach as they couldn't tackle the highest points but evertheless a great job done.
An Army Marches on its stomach and never more was true of the 'Muck In Crew'. Big thanks must therefore go to Hazel Doodsoon and her support from the ladies bowling Section for putting on a hearty lunch of Home-made Soup, Sandwiches and cakes... it was a magnificent feast and gave everybody a much needed boost to finish the job.
Whilst the obvious achievement of the day was the improvement of the clubs grounds the day offered so much more in terms of streghtening the club spirit at Clarkston. It was great to see members of all section coming together for the greater good of the club. Clarkston Bowling & Tennis Club is a great place to play and meet friend and the MUCKin DAY was a great example of that.. Thank you everybody
