Dennis and
SISIS have announced the date for their popular cricket renovation day for
2018.
The event
will be held at Cheltenham College on 7 August and those wishing to attend are
encouraged to register soon to avoid disappointment.
Since
2011, the Dennis and SISIS series of seminars have seen over 1200 cricket
groundsmen in attendance, bringing together volunteers and professionals
representing test and first class venues, club cricket, schools, colleges and
universities.
High
quality speakers and interesting topics has ensured these seminars quickly
gained a reputation as a 'not to miss event' with groundstaff travelling
considerable distances to be in attendance.
The August
event at Cheltenham College, will be a mix of thought provoking indoor
presentations and discussions with outside practical demonstrations – with
plenty of time built into the programme for speaking with your fellow
groundsmen. There will also be a number of high profile, well respected
industry sponsors in attendance offering support and advice.
“Following
the highly successful seminar held at The Brightside Ground, Bristol in 2017,
the decision to return to Gloucestershire to continue our 'For the groundsmen
by the groundsmen' series of educational seminars was a relatively
straightforward one and we hope delegates find the event informative, but above
all enjoyable,” commented Roger Moore, sales and marketing manager at Dennis
and SISIS.
The day includes a talk on profile
reading and autumn renovations from turf consultant Alex Vickers and an
overview on renovations from contractor Keith Exton of Perfect Pitches.
The morning will finish with a soil
core clinic led by Keith, Alex and Ian Smith, turf consultant from St Albans
School.
After a complimentary lunch,
groundsmen can attend two practical sessions; one on end of season renovations
and the other on aeration. Cheltenham College head groundsman Christian Brain
and Robert Jack (Dennis and SISIS) will join the delivery team for the first of
those while Jason Briggs from Dennis and SISIS will lead the final session
alongside Keith Exton.
The day will end with a question
and answer session with the panel of experts.
Attendance to this informative seminar is free and
seats are expected to be filled extremely fast.
