Groundsman Training in Southern England

The training took place at Ferndown, Dorset, at excellent facilities kindly provided by Ferndown Town Council.

Further public PA1/PA6A courses will be offered at Ferndown on a regular basis throughout the coming months, and Martin is also available to deliver to groups on site within 50 miles or so of Ferndown, minimum 3 candidates.
