On 11th October of this year, a technical seminar was held on a fine sunny day, at the Regional Technical Centre for Football in Châteauroux, in association with Equip’Jardin / Babee Jardin / Garden Arrosage / Rain Bird / Compo Expert / FBD / John Deere / Wiedenmann; with the key involvement of the Novarea testing laboratory for sports surfaces.
This seminar represented an opportunity for the fifty or so participants from the sports departments of the local authorities and communities of the Centre region, during a morning session in the classroom, to further their knowledge about the design and rational methods available for maintaining sports surfaces and in the afternoon, in outside workshops, they were able to find out about the latest innovations in areas as varied as marking out, mowing, automatic irrigation, mechanical soil operations and fertilisation.
