SAGE: Postponed until 2021: The Sports & Grounds Expo will now launch in July 2021!

We have been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the related Government guidelines. After careful consideration, and having spoken with many people involved in our event, we have decided to postpone The Sports & Grounds Expo (SAGE) until 2021.

SAGE: Postponed until 2021

Given the developing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is with deep regret that we have taken this decision, this has been a difficult decision to make. But the health of our exhibitors, visitors and staff has to be our number one priority and has taken precedence.

There has been a huge positive momentum gained for this exhibition already and we will continue to build on this to make 2021 an even bigger success. We have a preliminary date booked already with the Three Counties Showground, which will be released shortly.

In the meantime, please accept our apologies but these are unprecedented circumstances. Most importantly, we wish to extend our thoughts and best wishes to all those personally affected by the Coronavirus.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2021!

The Jockey Club and GroundWOW collaboration

The Jockey Club and GroundWOW collaboration: With their vision for British horse racing to be the best in the World, The Jockey Club has taken a significant step in its pursuit of sports technology leadership by embracing artificial intelligence and robotics in its event branding activities.

As part of its delivery for The Festival™ presented by Magners, The Jockey Club commissioned GroundWOW, developers of the world’s first autonomous, full colour ground printer to create a large scale Magners Irish Cider logo in the middle of the world-renowned racecourse.

Carey Weeks, Regional Head of Partnerships South West first pitched the Magners idea to GroundWOW. “We’re always looking for new ways to innovate and drive value for sponsors and event partners. When we heard about GroundWOW being able to print on ground as easily as printing on paper, we wanted to be the first organisation in racing to deploy it”.

Tony Rhoades, Founder and CEO of GroundWOW commented “Live events are often underpinned by their sponsors plus the vision and passion of the organisers. This project instantly aligned with our mission to disrupt the sports sponsorship landscape and the opportunity to work with The Jockey Club and an iconic brand like Magners has been fantastic for the team as well as an honour for me”.

“Storms Ciara, Dennis, Ellen and Jorge on consecutive weekends forced us into a rethink of how we did this” said Weeks, “but we weren’t going to be beaten and GroundWOW stepped up with a contingency to print on artificial turf instead. Their technology tells you they aren’t about conventional thinking and they showed up prepared for any eventuality” continued Weeks.

“We are grateful to the Jockey Club and GroundWOW for offering us this innovative branding opportunity that enhances our presence and stand out at Cheltenham and further cements our role as Presenting Partner of The Festival and Title Sponsor of the Magners Gold Cup. said George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship and PR at C&C Group (owners of Magners Irish Cider) Deploying technology and finding new ways to establish our association with The Festival among our drinkers fits with the ambition we share with The Jockey Club in our activation of The Festival™ presented by Magners”.
