Dedicated to the unsung heroes of community and volunteer sports grounds, this year\u2019s zone promises to be the place to be for all things turf maintenance for grassroots and community sports clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following its triumphant debut in 2023, we\u2019ve pulled out all the stops to make this years\u2019 experience even more spectacular. More space, more machinery, and yes, its very own Learning LIVE<\/a> stage! <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This year on the brand-new Community Sports Stage, ten engaging sessions will take place over two days, with hot topics such as Facility Funding, Essential Planning for Pitch Improvement Projects, Quality Surfaces on a Shoestring Budget, Understanding Your PitchPower Report and How to Attract and Manage Club Volunteers. Many visitors cite Learning LIVE as a key reason for attending the show and it\u2019s no wonder with it being the largest live educational event in the grounds management sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the machinery on display will be perfectly suited to the needs of community and grassroots sports clubs, with leading exhibitors like ISEKI<\/a>, Dennis<\/a> and SISIS<\/a>, Campey Turf Care Systems<\/a>, and Trimax Mowing Systems<\/a> showcasing their top products. It\u2019s not just about top-tier recommendations, but about providing practical solutions that work on the ground for clubs with limited resources.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trimax Mowing Systems will present their \u2018Trimax Striker<\/a>\u2019, a multi-spindled rotary mower designed with a unique baffle system to enhance grass distribution and minimise clumping while requiring minimal maintenance. Built for tough conditions, the Striker offers variable height adjustment for year-round use and features an enclosed cutting chamber for enhanced safety. Its ability to mow efficiently at a high standard makes it ideal for educational and sports facilities where appearance matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISEKI will introduce the latest additions to their lineup: the TM4 series 25hp tractor and the 40hp TLE3410 tractor, both popular choices among sports facility customers. These tractors will be equipped with specialised attachments for sports ground maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Booth, Chief Operating Officer at the Grounds Management Association, emphasises the importance of the Community Sports Zone for volunteers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Community Sport Zone is now a vital part of SALTEX, particularly for the grassroots volunteers who play such a crucial role in maintaining community sports facilities. We\u2019ve designed this space to provide information, advice and guidance, from funding through to grass pitch maintenance, tailored learning opportunities, and hands-on access to equipment that directly benefit those who give their time and energy to support their local clubs. This year’s expansion reflects our commitment to helping these volunteers succeed and ensuring that community sports continue to thrive.\u201d  For more information on SALTEX 2024 and to register for the event, please visit www.saltex.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
