Question: | "We would like to install floodlights so that we can play in the autumn evenings and occasionally during the winter. We have heard of some Clubs having them but before we install the lights we should like to know what you think of the proposition." |
Answer/Response: | "We do not really like the idea of installing floodlights because there is the danger of play taking place when the turf is not in suitable condition to accept it, e.g. dewy evenings are very common in the autumn. It is very unlikely that the turf would be in suitable condition for play during the winter. There is also a lot of essential maintenance work to be completed at the end of the playing season and this work has an important bearing on the condition of the playing surface the following season when the surface is expected to be good. It is important that proper maintenance is not prevented by the extra play outside the main season." |
