Dennis & SISIS partner with Bowls England

Dennis & SISIS partner with Bowls England: Dennis & SISIS and Bowls England have announced a new five-year partnership which is aimed at improving playing surfaces, increasing participation and helping to safeguard the future of the sport.

Passionate about helping everyone get the most out of the sport, Bowls England recently unveiled a new strategy, ‘Fit For The Future’, which has been designed with the ultimate goal of getting more people playing and enjoying bowls.

However, to entice more people into the sport, there must be a focus on the playing conditions; and this is where Dennis and SISIS come in according to Bowls England’s Chief Executive Jon Cockcroft.

“What is absolutely critical for us is that the bowling greens up and down the country are in superb condition for people to play on,” he said. “Over recent years there has been more strain on our clubs, and the challenges of maintaining greens are becoming greater.

Consequently, this partnership with Dennis and SISIS will allow us to support our clubs, and our amazing volunteers, who work tirelessly to look after the greens.

“The partnership will add value to our members and ultimately improving the quality of the surfaces is going to make the playing experience better which will help grow our game and get more people playing bowls.”

Also committed to educating greenkeepers and raising the standards of bowling greens, Dennis and SISIS have long supported the sport of bowls. For over 20 years, they have been organising and hosting educational maintenance seminars throughout the country which are designed to ultimately help club greenkeepers and volunteers maintain their bowling greens.

The pandemic inevitably put a temporary halt to the seminars and as a result the two British manufacturers launched an innovative Virtual Bowling Green Maintenance Seminar Portal. The free online portal was an instant success bringing seminars to a much wider audience and also allowing members to benefit from a wealth of knowledge.

Roger Moore, Sales and Marketing Manager for Dennis and SISIS revealed his delight at the new partnership.

“The sport of bowls has played an important part in the history of Dennis and SISIS,” he said. “We want to be associated with Bowls England particularly at such an exciting time as they launch their five-year strategy.

“The plan is to continue next year with the live seminars and provide access to Bowls England members to the online seminar portal, which has monthly updates from experts, funding opportunities, and access to other partners. Whether you are an experienced greenkeeper or new to the industry the portal is an invaluable resource.

“The partnership will allow both parties to explore and develop other initiatives going forward and we hope we can play a part helping Bowls England’s achieve their goals It also allows us to give something back towards the future growth and sustainability of the bowls market.”

The partnership comes ahead of an exciting year for both Dennis and SISIS and Bowls England; 2022 marks the centenary year for the Dennis brand and it is also the year of the of the Commonwealth Games, in which the greens at Victoria Park in Leamington (also the home of Bowls England) will host the bowls tournament.

“There is a wonderful synergy to this partnership,” continued Jon. “Firstly – heritage; the heritage of our sport and the heritage of the Dennis and SISIS brands. Secondly, both have an appetite for quality. Thirdly, bowls as a sport and the Dennis and SISIS brands are quintessentially British; and last but certainly not least, both Bowls England and Dennis and SISIS have a desire to give back to communities. It is a perfect partnership.”

Campey announce renovation days

September 20, 2021/in News, Press Release/by CharmianRobson

Campey announce renovation days: Campey Turf Care Systems is set to host free to attend tennis and cricket renovation days in Sutton Upon Derwent on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th September 2021.

The first event takes place at Sutton Upon Derwent Tennis Club and the second at Woodhouse Grange Cricket Club. Each day starts at 9.30 am, and attendees will see the latest sports turf machinery in action. The live renovation demonstrates how the Koro^® FIELD TOP MAKER^® with patented UNIVERSE^® Rotor, Campey Uni-Scratch, Vredo Seeder and more can be used to maintain and renovate tennis and cricket surfaces.

Using the KORO FTM in tennis and cricket is becoming increasingly popular, and Sutton Upon Derwent Tennis Club has already seen the outstanding results that can be achieved, as volunteer groundsman George Hobson explains.

“I first met Ben Taylor from Campey at Wimbledon’s Grass Court Seminar in August 2019, and they had machinery on the courts there including the Koro^® FTM^® which looked amazing. So after meeting Ben, I asked him if he knew of anyone who had a Koro^® in our area because it would be interesting to see what price they’d charge to help us out. Campey very kindly came back and said they would do a renovation demo day on the tennis courts, so that’s how it started.

“The tennis courts at the club have never really had a renovation, so the thatch was like a sponge. The quality of the courts wasn’t there because of that, but the Koro^® did the job we needed to take the thatch away, and the use of the Vredo seeder and Uni-Scratch^® prepared the seedbed perfectly to allow for very high germination rates.”

As well as the machinery side of maintenance other speakers will be presenting on their own specialist subjects including;

Phil Blackwell – Director – SISPitches / SISGrass
Neil Stubley – Head of Courts and Horticulture – All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
Danny Negus – Head Groundsman – Devonshire Park
Dan Lightfoot – Business Manager UK & Ireland – Syngenta
Andy MacKay – Pitch Advisor – England & Wales Cricket Board
