Northumberland FA are delighted to announce that this year’s Pitch Maintenance Conference will be held at Close House Golf Club on Thursday 21^st February 2019.

Following delegate feedback from last year’s event, we have adjusted the format to include specific practical demonstrations, and seminars designed to support both you and your work across a range of pitch maintenance activities.

There will be introduction sessions from both Ian Powell of the Institute of Groundsmanship (IOG) and the Northumberland FA, followed by a transfer to the site where candidates will receive demonstrations on: Cutting & Moving (Greenlay), Deep Aeration (Wiedenmann), Pre/Post Match Slitting (Dennis Sisis), Line Marking (Fleet Line Marking) and Over Seeding (Rickerby’s/Redexim Charterhouse).

There will also be a buffet lunch provided followed by seminars with keynote speakers from the IOG, The Football Foundation and Northumberland FA – along with networking opportunities throughout the day.

Due to increased demand we are once again limiting the spaces available at this unique event. As part of the £10 registration fee, all delegates will receive the following: Light Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Coffee and Free entry to prize draw (prizes include: A 4 ball on the Filly Course at Close House Hotel & Golf Resort; An overnight stay for 2 at Close House Hotel & Golf Resort).
