Winner shares his experience
Brian Phillips, the winner of the first monthly prize in the Technical Merit Award, supported by Tillers Turf, has been in touch to tell us of his experience.
Brian, from Swanley in Kent, chose the Champagne Hot Air Balloon Flight. He wrote " I went on my balloon flight, I chose an evening flight on 9th August. It was great, a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone. Here are a few pictures. Thanks again ."
Brian (at the back on the right) is the Head Groundsman at St. Olaves Grammar School in Orpington and looks after a lovely 20 acre tree lined site. The school predominantly plays rugby, but there's also a cricket square, some hard tennis courts and a walled garden with fine lawns.
