| Membership |
| After a record month, membership slowed
considerably in June - Jubilee celebrations, the
World Cup then Wimbledon have obviously been a
distraction. Time to get our eyes back on the
ball, so spread the news. As we always say - more
members mean more expertise and more opportunities
to share experiences. A problem shared on the
Pitchcare site invariably results in a problem
solved. |

FC is being run by Geoff Brereton from Elmwood
College. A Certificate of Attendance will be
provided for the course. It may be possible to
extend it to a team-leader qualification by
completing a project at work. This would then
create a NEBSS Team Leader Award. Any such
extension to qualification will be discussed
during the two day course.
The course is to be held at Old Trafford on
the 9/10th September.Cost is £250 per delegate and
will include course fee and refreshments for the
two days. Evening meals and overnight
accommodation are not included, but a rate of £45
per night per room has been negotiated for the
stay. Please contact Dave Saltman in the first
instance on 01902 824392 or e-mail enquiries@pitchcare.com

as on-line. And, as we mentioned last month,
Pitchcare have now introduced an account system
whereby you can agree credit terms with us in

that. |
