It also hosts national competitions and international Test matches, and is open seven days a week for other bowls and parabowls clubs, societies and individual bowlers, and its profile means that there is a continual drive to increase standards, he explains:.
I work closely with STRI, who carry out regular testing and then I make adjustments to regimes and treatments to meet their recommendations. Mike comments that whilst Bowls England is very satisfied with the condition of the greens, a meeting has been planned with the Commonwealth Games organising committee for this autumn to discuss their requirements.
It may seem like early days, but a green can take two to three years to come back to its best after major renovations so we need plenty of time to put any new programmes in place. The five greens all behave slightly differently, even though four were constructed at the same time. The latest technology is helping to address levels on the green with satellite mapping dividing each up into a grid which is then drawn on a CAD system, allowing dressing to be localised to remedy any depressions.
The addition of the Commonwealth Games to the bowling programme at Victoria Park will place significant pressure on the greens. We may also be looking at techniques such as watering by hand.
The Commonwealth Games are expected to occupy Victoria Park for three to four weeks, a sizable undertaking in addition to the four weeks required for the Nationals. At every stage in the next four years standards will be scrutinised. At the moment, during a major tournament, STRI monitors the greens every two to three days and Bowls England inspect every day.
