McIlwraith courts nearly ready after 17 days of work

ay 17 and it's starting to feel a lot like croquet!

Club members were out in force this morning, adding some serious spit and polish — the finishing touches to our beauty/spa treatment after weeks of TLC.

- Trees trimmed - Lines being drawn - Signs cleaned and polished

All that's left now is to set the holes for the hoops on Friday afternoon… and weather gods willing, we'll be back playing on Saturday — an amazing turnaround in just 20 days!

Extra special thanks to today's crew… Anne Kirker, Bob Elliott, Steve O'Hare, Jeffrey Searle, Jennifer Young, Graham Young and Deb Camden!
