Rollers, Painting, Generators all part of the day - The Apprentice Groundsman

The photos below show some of the work being completed today -

Alan carried on with the painting of the panels on the North Habbin. He was giving them a second coat. There is one more needing to be done completed and final one will need two coats tomorrow

The grass is coming through more than ever. As it is growing it pushes up the fibre layer in places. There were three barrow loads collected today

You may remember that the roller broke several weeks ago. Today, it was repaired by Mick who replaced the wood sections. He had to saw the bolts off to enable the completion of  the replair

WBPS were on site to check/service the generators and ensure any parts needing to be replaced were done

Mick replaid the gravel in the areas where the materials were left for relaying the pitch. We have sectioned off the bottom area of the car park while contractors are site. It is the second cover of shingle. It disappears when it rains and on the tyres of vehicles as well compacting when being driven over all the time

Looking at the weather all day predicting heavy rain we started the day off by getting the sand bags ready. The rain had not arrived by three thirty and if it does not do so the pitch will urgently need watering.
