CLS Sports Reinforce Synthetic Surfaces Knowhow

May 5, 2017/in Press Release, Synthetics/by Greg Rhodes

David, 52, commands 28 years’ experience in the sports surfacing industry, mostly devoted to the installation of synthetic turf areas, and has travelled extensively abroad under that remit.

Among his many projects are included construction of two athletics training tracks for the 2012 London Olympic Games as well as a host of installations within the independent schools sector.

As Contract Manager his role will span all facets of the project timeline from site surveying for feasibility studies to managing the process from contract award to completion and aftersales support.

“Working with the CLS Sports team has great appeal for me,” David states, “particularly as it is a progressive, family-run business and I was keen to maintain the personal touch to the level I did in my previous post.”

CLS Sports Managing Director John Miller said: “We were seeking someone to help us develop the synthetic surfaces side of the business and when I learnt that David might be available I lost no time in contacting him.

“David’s vast experience in the installation of playing surfaces will further deepen our reach as a national contractor that specialises in all forms of synthetic sports pitches and athletics tracks, while continuing to strengthen our reputation for quality at all stages and levels of project fulfilment.”

Renovation of Wavertree Athletics Track, Liverpool, and reconstruction of a derelict hockey pitch at Sheffield Hallam University are among David’s first projects for CLS Sports.

He comments: “Council-run athletics tracks are costly to maintain and seldom deliver the level of return needed. The trend is to upgrade them to become fit for purpose before leasing them to local clubs, who are then responsible for running them.”

Devon Golf Club Suffers ‘Worst Vandalism In Living Memory’

May 5, 2017/in Press Release/by Turf Matters

Devon Golf Club Suffers ‘Worst Vandalism In Living Memory’ – Northam’s prestigious Royal North Devon Golf Club was blighted by vandals earlier this week (Tuesday).

The famous Westward Ho! club, which is the oldest golf course in England, suffered flooding across three holes after vandals broke open a water hydrant.

Flags were also used to pull up turf on the greens.

The club has reported the incident to the police and said it intends to prosecute the offenders if they are caught.

General manager Mark Evans said the ‘mindless vandalism’ was the worst the club had suffered in living memory.

“We are lucky in some ways because we don’t usually get it.

“It’s just wasting everybody’s time having to repair something they shouldn’t have to.

“We found it at 6 o’clock this morning when the green keepers got to it and we think it must have happened between nine and 10pm last night by the amount of water.

“They’ve opened a hydrant and everything was flooded quite badly. You know you’ve got a problem when the bunkers are holding water.”

The bunkers have been taken out of play at the golf course until the damage can be rectified.

Green keepers spent four hours on each of the three flooded greens to make them playable, but Mr Evans said they can take six months to return to normal.

Anyone with any information about the incident can contact the police via 101@dc.police.uk, or by phoning 101, quoting crime reference CR033334-17.

Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers via 0800 555111 or www.crimestoppers-or.uk
