When Keswick Town Council reviewed how it maintained its fine turf areas, including its bowling greens, the objective was clear: maintain traditional standards of presentation and playability while introducing quieter, more sustainable working practices.
For Parks Manager Christine Fawcett, who manages Fitz Park and Hope Park, which are charitable trusts, any change had to be practical, reliable and low risk. Fitz Park in particular is home to a well-used club bowling green as well as a public green; both of which demand consistency throughout the season.

The Howardson Group, proud manufacturers of the renowned Dennis, SISIS, Syn-Pro and Hunter Grinders brands are delighted to reflect on a highly successful participation at the 12th Golf & Turf Summit & Expo 2025, hosted by the Golf Industry Association (GIA) at the Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club, Hyderabad.
