VITAX'S Champagne Winners
By Carol Dutton
Philip Helmn, course manager of Overstone Park Golf Club, Northampton was one of three Vitax competition winners, taking home a magnum of champagne from Saltex. P.G. Butler a bowling green contractor from Fornham, Cambridgeshire and John Kenton of Knaphill Bowls Club from Woking in Surrey also each won a bottle of bubbly for guessing the size of the area that could be treated with the entire contents of a large container filled with packs of Vitax's new fungicide Insignia.
The competition, which was held each day of Saltex prompted over 700 entries from all areas of the industry, and has been judged a great success by the company.
"As conditions for fusarium are usually right at this time of year, we wanted to promote the cost effectiveness of Insignia, as well as giving our customers a bit of fun," said Clive Williams, Vitax's commercial manager.
