New Bowling Surface at Southbourne.

Work commenced in October on replacing the carpet at Southbourne Bowls Club when the team from Dales Sports Surfaces arrived on site.

The picture below shows the removal of the existing underlay and carpet to expose the tarmac base.
 

Exposing the base allows for a full assessment of its condition and subsequent deciscion on what remedial action is appropriate and necessary.
 


With their expertise, the Dales team 'work out' the high spots, where possible, using a heat and roller approach.
However, troublesome areas like the notorious rink 1 (pictured below) receive a full strip back and fresh lay of tarmac.

  
Rain stops play! (Hail actually). The team from Dales manage to lay the entire underlay and first strip of carpet before the heavens open.

The new carpet now fully laid and stitched. Roll on the 2012 season!
 

October 14th 2011
