LINCOLNSHIRE CRICKET GROUNDSMEN

By Martin Deans, ECB pitch adviser - Lincolnshire
Would it be possible through your excellent website to inform any interested parties of our next meeting which is on January 20 at 7.30pm at the Lincoln Lindum sports ground, when our speaker will be Anthony Asquith.
He has first hand experience in the preparation of first class and Test match wickets through his time with Yorkshire at Headingley, has considerable knowledge on the science of soils used in cricket pitches both here and in New Zealand, and is currently technical director at Amenity Land Solutions, one of the country's leading ground product suppliers.
Our membership is £5 per year and we meet on average four times through the winter months with a wide variety of speakers on all aspects of groundsmanship. Meetings usually last for 1hr 30 mins and are well worth a visit for all of the valuable advice given by some of the country's leading figures in the industry.
Further information can be obtained from our chairman Howard Swain at Cleethorpes CC or myself by email through this link MARTIN DEANS
Incidentally, as the ECB pitch adviser for Lincolnshire I am often privileged in obtaining results from research, new initiatives in ground prep, and requirements for grounds wishing to host or play a high standard of cricket, and can offer advice to clubs whose grounds are under-performing.
