GMA OFFER INTRIM WORKS GUIDES

The newly named Grounds Management Association have been working closely with various National Governing Bodies to offer advice and guidance on what works may be possible to be carried out throughout this period, and, what works may be required once sport resumes.

These ‘interim works’ documents are free to access for members and non-members of the GMA and cover a range sports played on natural turf and will be updated as and when the climate or current situation dictates.

A statement from the association says they "recognise and appreciate that each sport, facility and the people that work hard to maintain these surfaces have very different circumstances and whilst these documents are comprehensive they are in place to suggest and highlight only the effective but minimal works to keep surfaces ‘ticking over’".

They also stress that professionals always ensure they follow up to date government guidelines.

Interim works documents are available for football, cricket, rugby union, rugby league, horse racing, bowling and croquet. Click here.
