Sports Facility Show “indispensible aid” to facility development
A
llianz Park, home of Saracens Rugby Club, will host the next Sports Fa- cility Show, being run by SAPCA. The show focuses on sports facility
funding, design, development and management and will have a special focus on synthetic turf. With a variety of seminars covering a range of key topics for facility owners across the sporting spectrum, expert industry speakers and over 40 exhibitors, the show promises to educate and engage those involved in the development of sporting facilities, from sports clubs and schools to leisure operators and local authorities. Chris Trickey, CEO of SAPCA, said: “The
Sports Facility Show is an indispensable aid to help those involved in almost every aspect of indoor and outdoor sports facility development – it is absolutely invaluable regardless of level of expertise. It’s aimed at improving knowledge and infusing new ideas and fresh approaches so that key decision makers can make informed choices about every aspect of their sports facility, from funding, design and development through to ef- fective management.” The show features a comprehensive pro- gramme of practical workshops, such as ‘Your Sports Facility: How to Make it a Welcoming Place for All’, ‘How to Use Social Media to Drive Footfall to Your Sports Facility’, ‘Employee Sat- isfaction: Why You Should be Interested’, ‘The Importance of Volunteering in Sport’ and ‘”Get Into Grounds” with the IOG’. The extensive range of seminars throughout
the day builds on this, giving those attending the latest insight into a range of topics including:
funding sources for sports facilities, how to make a successful funding application, design- ing multi-use games areas, sports facility design for modern schools, making the most of playing fields, sustainable sports buildings, sports lighting, the design of indoor sports facilities, and how to choose a synthetic sports surface. With a spe- cial focus on synthetic turf pitches, there will be specialist seminars covering everything from their financial viability and design and construction to the choice of surface and on-going maintenance requirements. Delegates will also have the op- portunity to have a guided tour of Allianz Park, the only stadium in the country designed and built to BREEAM Excellent standards. As an in- dustry-leading facility featuring a state-of-the-art synthetic turf pitch and the latest in stadium audio and visual technology, it makes a fitting venue for this exciting exhibition. Trickey stresses that the event is a crucial tool to those concerned with ensuring their facili- ties are fit for purpose and providing a steadfast groundwork for better play: “We strongly urge anyone involved in the important aspect of sports facility management to be there. Anyone from schools, universities, local authorities, sports clubs, and sports and leisure centres will learn important information to help get the most out of their sports facility. • The Sports Facility Show takes place on Tues-
day 26 November 2013 at the Allianz Park in Hendon, London. Those interested are advised to book early by
