Dennis and sisis and bowls scotland seminars announced

Dennis and SISIS have announced that they will again be teaming up with Bowls Scotland to deliver a number of informative seminars, all designed to help club greenkeepers and volunteers maintain their bowling greens.

Dennis and SISIS have a long history of supporting the sport of bowls and their products are the preferred choice for greenkeepers all over the world. Their partnership with Bowls Scotland, the national governing body for outdoor lawn bowls, ensures that delegates will get advice on a range of subjects.

Last year’s series of seminars brought together over two hundred bowls enthusiasts at a number of venues across Scotland and the popular events are set to be well-attended yet again.

Refreshments will be available upon arrival before Robert Christie, Director of Development for Bowls Scotland, begins with a warm welcome outlining the aims and strategy of the seminar. There will then be a great opportunity to learn more about obtaining grant and funding support for your bowls club.

Scott McNeil from Henderson Grass Machinery will then take to the stage to present a real-life case study of how his bowling club was able to improve the quality of its green and explain the methods they used to achieve it.

A complimentary lunch will signal the halfway point before delegates head outside to witness an on-green demonstration. This demonstration not only provides a perfect opportunity to see some of the sport’s latest turf maintenance equipment in action but will also offer guidance in the way you prepare greens and provide delegates with advice on how to get the very best out of their equipment.

The last seminar of the day will see Greentech Sportsturf’s Neil Mitchell offering his expertise on how to get the best value and best results from inputs such as fertilisers, fungicides, pesticides and grass seed.

To conclude each of the seminars, an open question and answer session will take place – presenting all delegates with the opportunity to ask any pressing questions relating to their own situations.

"I have been using Melcourt Sylvagrow for a few years now. Bracken based & no wood fibre or crap within it. I tend to mix in some Perlite depending on what it is being used for. It was sold in 50Lt bags until last spring when they dropped 20% out,…"

"Hi Henry - Sounds like the starter motor is trying to turn the engine over but it has jammed. You could try freeing it off by rocking the machine backwards and forwards. It may work. Did for me on an Etesia 124. Good luck."

"I'm trying out Uncle Tom's Rose Tonic this year as well as Sulphur Rose and am keen to see the results. Obviously I can't recommend them yet, but will report back if they work. "
