Magazine - VGA Information Day & Calendar

By Victorian Greenkeepers Association in Bowls on 14th Jun 2010 10:50

The Victorian Greenkeepers Association will be holding an information day for greenkeepers, green directors, bowlers and anyone involved in lawn bowling greens.

The day is aimed to get greenkeepers together to talk everything greens related and try to get some fresh information out there.

There will be a number of guest speakers including Patrick Madden and Dr Henk Smith from Syngenta, Phil Ford from Ballarat University and 1-2 more speakers yet to be confirmed.

The topics covered by the speakers will be the latest in fungicides and there application and everything related to natural grass greens with a focus on couch surfaces.

There will also be some couch experts willing to answer any questions in an open forum, current situation of our turf trials, tiff tour updates and plenty of photos.

The day will be held on Wednesday, August 4th at 10am with coffee available from 9.30am and we hope to have all things wrapped up by mid afternoon after a BBQ lunch that will be supplied.
