Friday

Not much to report on groundwork. I went to the Galvanisers in the morning to collect some brush frame we are making. Its absolute chaos at the place, the guys just appear to ignore you and its hard to understand  any system they are working too, after about half an hours wait watching wagons unload come and go I finally got my frames. What a waste of time.

When I got back to the club with the frames Phil from Brushes North West my partner in this project was waiting for me. Just look at his happy face you would have thought he would have been pleased to see me! that's just the effect I have on people.
You can see these frames with all the brushes/rakes fastened and even watch them on You-tube http://www.brushesnorthwest.com/


Clive (sorry not got his photo) my friend from Pool Cricket Club called to collect a bag of seed. He has just had his outfield Verti-Drained and wants to try get some grass growing in weak areas. So I ordered him a bag of Colosseum the cold season seed from Harrell's it is imported from New Zealand and will germinate at 5 degrees. It is an Perannual Ryegrass as opposed to the Annual type that Barenbrugs and Johnson are supplying that means its not just for winter green up it will survive.  
All the info is on the Harrell's web site I act as an agent for them in the West Yorkshire area.


We have been awarded a ECB grant to fit a new Boiler and Cylinder the whole project is about £3000-00 and they are contributing around £750-00. This all means that I have had to clear out some things from our top garage including my Sisis Veri-Seeder. You can see the mess that the place is in, it needs a good clear out, one thing that was emphasized on the Health and Safety CPD day earlier in the week- house keeping.


By the time I finished clearing things away and rearranging it was dark -another day gone.
