   The square improvement team has a wealth of knowledge on pitch
preparation, they are Wales accredited pitch assessors Len Smith,
Wayne Duggan and Gareth Phillips (as seen in picture above). They
have provided an invaluable support service to clubs. This
includes a series of visits, soil analysis, advice and recommended
action. The scheme will be continued in 2007 thanks to the
continued sponsorship from Advanta Seeds and Notts Sport. Clubs are encouraged to carry out a full survey to really see what is “under the bonnet”! There will be a cost, but this will be an excellent investment, as it will offer your grounds' team a first class direction for the improvement of your square. For more information contact:
