Well done Dennis UK, taking cricket out to the people on the grounds, also cricketworld.com for their support of groundsmen. The only way to raise the profile of the job is to get out there and give presentations, raising hope and expectations.
The speakers at this event have been hand picked to make this informative to all, whilst allowing plenty of time for that all important networking. The only downside will be the opinionated host.

Would love to attend myself... have to see how many pennies are floating around after Christmas!

If I can't make it, I hope it runs well.

Here's hoping Dennis can keep their eye on the ball during 2011, which will be a very difficult year for them - I predict.

I think it will be a difficult year for everyone in the industry, including Dennis who ran great bowling seminars in Scotland last year, which resulted in us buying some machinery which has preformed great .
Good luck to Dennis
