    IOG in Action in association with British Sugar TOPSOIL 3rd October 2007

     

    Following a successful IOG in Action day event at Bury RFC event back in February, it was decided to follow this up with part two later in the year which took place to a capacity crowd of grounds professionals on the 3rd October.

    More than 90 delegates enjoyed the line up of popular seminars at an event which was held in association with British Sugar TOPSOIL. The seminars were delivered by industry experts and followed by practical demonstrations on the maintenance and management of winter pitches and all weather surfaces. Talks included an update on pesticide regulation, nutritional programmes and a review of essential operations.
