@WhitgiftGrounds @turfcareblog We've been doing it for over 10 years with the majority staying in the industry its been great for us.
But this year we are really struggling to attract anyone to apply, there doesn't seem to be the interest this year sadly.

@turfcareblog @DAVID__ROBERTS The ECB are offering grants for electric mowers.

@turfcareblog Our 2 rollers are called Andy and Greg. The lighter and older one is Greg.😂

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

@com_section Well done Brian and Will.
Top pitch marks too 👏

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

@KennyLa40194999 @Bengibs0n It was around the 240 mark. This is one of our hybrid pitches and we find they cleg a bit lower than our normal wickets.

First day of practice in the nets today at hove. Considering we only had 3 weeks prep, problematic heaters and it's the middle of February we are very happy with how it played. With @Bengibs0n

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

@twarehamgrinst1 Well done Tom. The place looked great this morning when I came over.

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

Hove outfield looking decent in the sun today. Definitely better than this time last year anyway.

[Thomas Booth @booth_thomas_14]

T20 season begins at hove today! Ground looking good in the sun ☀️

[Ben Gibson @Bengibs0n]

Late to the party but really looking forward to the first game tomorrow. Not been an easy few months for me and my team but we’ve managed to get here. Not pretty but it’s green, hopefully be back at its best soon @SussexCCC

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

Nets under marquee coming along nicely and should be ready for first use on Monday. Square ready for heavy roller tomorrow. With @Bengibs0n

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

@butty2511 @SussexCCC Inside the marquee we are getting fans and dehumidifiers installed to increase airflow and take out all the condensation and hopefully stop the grass getting any disease. We are also getting heaters to help dry the surface out.

[Chris Geere @ChrisGeere1]

Marquee is up and ready to start preparing it for use in 4 weeks or so @SussexCCC
