On Wednesday 30th July, Berkshire Cricket held an end of season renovations course at Wellington College. This was organised superbly by Mark Dodd and his grounds team at the college. A special thanks must also go to Ollie Mahon from Bradfield College and Phil Jeggo from the Grounds Management Association who attended and offered valuable insight. It was great to see so many clubs represented with a total of 17 great attending.
Attendees were split into two groups on different squares. This allowed in depth knowledge to be provided on the following topics:
-
Scarification
-
Hybrid Pitches
-
Aeration
-
Top Dressing
Further discussion on soil samples, seed mixes and suppliers also took place which gave clubs lots to think about!
There will be more courses coming to Berkshire in the very near future so keep an eye out on the Berkshire Bulletin for more details or feel free to contact our Clubs & Volunteers Lead Ben Abrahams for more details.
