height of 13mm using Dennis 34” mowers. We operate a 10-day wicket preparation regime using Lloyds Paladins for the final surface cutting. I usually have a pre-season plan detailing all the fixture lists. This helps me keep on schedule. However, it invariably gets overtaken by additional fixtures due to the school doing well in cup games. Also, the old boys team, Old Ellesmerian, also use the grounds for fixtures.
A full 8 lane grass athletic track and
a hurdle track are prepared and marked on a weekly basis. The tracks are mown at least twice a week with our Allett mowers. The remainder of the school fields are cut using our Lloyds gang mowers, also on a twice- weekly cycle. We use Fleet Kombi spray jet line
markers using Pitchmarker C for all our line marking requirements. The college also has a nine hole par
three golf course within the grounds. It is maintained all year round but is kept closed between January-April.
Summer Holiday Period: August - September.
The first priority is to renovate the cricket squares. It is imperative to get the job done quickly to make good use of the high soil temperatures to ensure rapid germination of seed. We scarify in several directions, spike if moist enough, and topdress with Boughton Loam using the Trilo spreader, and then overseed. Not all of the square is renovated.
We still require a number of strips to conclude the Old Ellesmerian fixtures that usually finish in September. The college also run a number of events and summer sports clubs, such as camping and caravan rallies, that bring in much needed income. Accommodating these events often creates more work for my staff, especially after the summer campers have gone, when we have to spend a lot of time finding tent pegs left in the ground. Not only can they be dangerous but they can often damage our mowing cylinders.
