The boundaries of the site continue to provide "good sport". Early in the year we extended the new timber and wire mesh fence around the east end of the meadow area. Once the scaffolding was removed from the club house we were able to extend the green wire mesh fence along the west side of the building. The fence erection was undertaken in parallel with a final trim of ground levels along this boundary to level a residual mound along the fence line and to reduce the gradient where the ground drops from wharf level to car park level.
In February we planted a further 100 or more saplings in the hedge, removing a lot of brambles in the process. These have generally taken well.
2014 has been a good year for the hedge with growth now clearly evident: it will not be much longer until we have to start to trim or lay the hedge.
