The 2012 Dennis and Sisis Turf Care Seminar programme sailed into the Isle of Man with a very successful and well attended day at the Ballafletcher Sports Club. Dennis & Sisis were pleased with the event and their well proven format certainly drew in the crowds. Over 70 people attended the day which encompassed a mix of technical presentations and demonstrations ‘on the pitch’.
Following their recent highly successful series of bowling green maintenance seminars in the north of England and western Scotland, Dennis and Sisis are pleased to announce their next seminar will take place on Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in Northampton.
Committed to educating greenkeepers on how to maintain and look after bowling greens, Dennis and Sisis delivered two extremely informative, educational and interactive seminars to greenkeepers in Scotland and England.
Dennis and Sisis are taking to the road again with their successful seminar format. This time they're giving groundsmen and greenkeepers on the Isle of Man an opportunity to attend a Turf Care Seminar at Ballafletcher Sports Club on Wednesday 21st March.
Dennis & SISIS concluded their 2011 series of educational events with the recent Groundsman cricket seminar at Essex County Cricket Ground. With Stuart Kerrison, Head Groundsman at Essex CCC, as the host, the programme took on a slightly different format to previous seminars as it extended into the evening and included a floodlit tour of the ground.
Dennis and SISIS are renowned for their innovative, high quality British-built turfcare machinery and at BTME 2012 will present a range of products ideal for golf and other fine turf applications on stand A4. Course managers looking to impress greens committees with a high quality purchase will find their needs ideally met by the FT510, featuring Dennis’s industry-leading cassette system.
Following their Cricket seminar at Uxbridge Cricket Club earlier this year, Dennis and SISIS are once again offering cricket groundsmen the opportunity to attend this successful seminar. The venue this time is Essex County Cricket Club in Chelmsford and the date is Tuesday 22nd November 2011, commencing at 9.00am.
Dennis and SISIS will showcase a range of innovative, professional, British manufactured groundcare products at the 40th anniversary Scotsturf exhibition (stands A3 & A10). Developed using feedback from customers who are at the cutting edge of the industry, from premiership football clubs and leading golf clubs to local authorities and contractors, Dennis and Sisis products continue to lead the way.
The brands have been working in harmony since SISIS became a division of Howardson Ltd alongside Dennis earlier this year. Managing Director Ian Howard explains “Since January an enormous amount of hard work has been undertaken by all employed within the two divisions to ensure a successful and smooth integration of the brands. Saltex provides us with the ideal opportunity to exhibit and demonstrate a comprehensive range of British manufactured products”.
Racecourse parade rings are the sport’s shop windows where punters pick out their fancy for the forthcoming race and connections greet their horse to celebrate a victory. Thus turf presentation has to be exceptional, and Leicester Racecourse is enjoying a winning performance from its Dennis G680 walk behind cylinder mower.
After a break of several years, the full range of SISIS products can once again be seen at Saltex 2011, this year being featured alongside Dennis Mowers. Their combined display will cover a significantly larger stand, together with a demonstration area to enable visitors to fully appreciate the two companies’ customer-focused products.
Hollyfields Bowls Club has an interesting history: bowls players from the Dunlop Tyre Factory at Erdington moved to the ground in 1998 when their own facility was lost during the company’s rationalisation. The club had been run by former British Gas workers, but had recently been disbanded, so fortuitously the green was ready for new custodians.
