Groundskeeper Event at Liskeard AFC

**Cornwall FA Groundskeeper Events: Funding, Pitch Power, Machinery, & Grass Pitch Products ** Cornwall FA is excited to share details of our face to face Groundskeeper Events in the East and West of the county in October 2024, with special guests attendance from our partners Vincent Tractors and Plant and Grounds Management Association. The power of the grass pitch is fundamental for a positive playing experience in grassroots football and has proven to be a key driver in the participation levels across the county. Groundskeepers across the county work tirelessly to maintain and develop playing surfaces throughout the season, especially when the winter months come into play. To support this integral role within Cornish football, Cornwall FA will be running these events to support clubs in attracting funding for both ongoing grass pitch maintenance works and machinery as well as highlighting support available for groundskeepers. 📍 Liskeard AFC, PL14 3HZ Topics covered:

• Funding Opportunities by Cornwall FA: How clubs can access funding to help improve facilities and the quality of grass pitches in Cornwall.
• Pitch Power Overview by Grounds Management Association: Ashley Hendricks-Nutley will provide practical demonstration of how to perform a pitch inspection and talk about Pitch Power. 
• Machinery by partners Vincent Tractors and Plant: Our machinery partners will demonstrate different grounds maintenance machinery to the groundskeepers in attendance.   Please arrive from 6:00pm for a 6:15pm start for both events. The sessions will finish at approximately 8:30pm-9:00pm, which could vary depending on Q&A and practical demonstration duration. Please be aware, this event may be photographed and or video recorded and shared by Cornwall FA and partners for marketing purposes.  For further information, please contact daniel.greenough@cornwallfa.com
