John Holt, commercial director of Rigby Taylor, is guest speaker at next Wednesday’s meeting of the Leeds-West Yorkshire branch of the Institute of Groundsmen at Cleckheaton Sports Club (7.30).

His theme will be: When things go wrong, what can we do to cure the problems or even prevent them happening in the first place.

Holt will also talk about his firm’s operation and explain fertiliser analysis and performance.

In addition, there will be the latest round of the national quiz and, as usual, a free supper. The IOG branch’s previous meeting attracted a record attendance.
