North Island Greenkeeper’s Conference 2021 – 27-29 June 2021
The Board of BNH encourages all greenkeepers and club officers with
responsibility for the greens at their clubs to register and attend this
course. Keeping our natural greens in top order is paramount and it is
especially relevant this season with the National Inter-Centre tournament
scheduled to be held on North Harbour greens. Up to 16 greens will be
required to host the tournament itself. So it is a vested interest that
green-keepers and superintendents be encouraged to attend the course to
update themselves on the latest information and knowledge to keep our greens
in top order.
WorkSafe New Zealand Requirements – Bowling Clubs.
URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED! (editor note – Mairangi Bay has this underway)
HAS YOUR CLUB COMPLETED THIS WOF???
This is a reminder to all clubs who have not yet done the following:
Please see attached an important memo from Bowls NZ CEO Mark Cameron which
outlines the requirement of clubs to take action to self-assess and report
against the legal requirements of their greenkeeping shed(s). The attached
compliance document will need to be printed and then used to complete the
self-assessment.
The Bowling Club Agrichemical Management Warrant of Fitness will assist
your club to identify all the legal requirements, and any identify if there
are any issues.
THE CLUB MUST:
(i) undertake the self-assessment process and fix any problems that are
apparent, and
(ii) complete and return (scan & email or post) the self-assessment
document to Steve Beel (details below) showing that the club complies in ALL
facets of agrichemical management
The attached memo also lists key people who can be contacted to answer any
questions or otherwise assist you to complete this assessment.
If your club does not have any chemicals / sprays / fertilisers, please
complete the self-assessment form accordingly and provide an explanation as
to why this is the case; e.g. Artificial green(s) / no chemicals / sprays /
fertiliser stored at the club / other.
