Annual Charity Golf Day 14th June 2009

Following last years success, this year was always going to be an uphill struggle from the word go. With a fiercely contested round of stableford golf, we were very very unfortunate to finish runner up by the narrowest of margins. Our courageous opponents took the victory by 5 points, well deserved and extremely good natured 2009 champions. We managed to raise over a £1,000 for breast cancer, Ann and her staff at the Black Bull, Standish, laid on breakfast and afternoon tea, it was only fair that we sank back a few beers to ease the pain of our sunburnt barnets.

Green roofs explained

A green roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and soil, or a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. This does not refer to roofs which are merely coloured green, as with green shingles. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems. Container gardens on roofs, where plants are maintained in pots, are not generally considered to be true green roofs, although this is an area of debate. The term "green roof" may also be used to indicate roofs that utilize some form of "green" technology, such as solar panels or a photovoltaic module. Green roofs are also referred to as eco-roofs, vegetated roofs, living roofs, and greenroofs.
