This advice may come too late for your meeting, but I think that you have
two
roots to getting the best results. The first would be to completely
level the
site and then lay an appropriate medium for sowing seed straight onto to
ensure
you get a 'clen' start and get a good quality of grass as a basis for the
green. You'd need to reseach/take expert advice as to what the medium
should
be and what mix of grass seed you'll need to give you the best results.

The second option is to level the site and prepare it and buy in very
specialised turves from someone who can supply you with the appropriate
turves
for your site, soil type, aspect, etc. but then I did assume you weren't
going
to use the kind of turves you'd buy from a garden turf supplier. Thought
I'd
just mention it though. Taking things for granted is never a good idea.

Basically, I think you're looking at 6 months to 2 years depending on
which
avenue you take and how lucky you are with the site, weather, etc.

God only knows if this is any help to you at all, but all the best!

Dave.

No, not only God, but me as well!!

Thanks for all the advice and who to contact for even more advice, much
appreciated.

The meeting turned out even better than I thought in that it is rumoured
that another local Bowling Club is about to be 'turfed' off their ground
and it is to be developed. 'IF' this is the case, not only would they be
pleased to move to this new club and sight, but they 'might' even be
able to bring their turf/green with them. (Sorry about the pun).

It's back to the Drawing Board now and redesign the site for a Public
Exhibition sometime in the near future. Bowling Green, Football and
Hockey Pitch, Petanque Terrain, Coach and Car Parking and as bigger Club
House Pavilion as I can get on there :-))

One point which did come up at the meeting was that someone thought that
my idea of a 'prickly' hedge down the side of the path would not be
allowed. Any comments welcomed.

Thanks again for the input.

'THIS' is the side of gardening I like :-)
Yes there will be flower beds etc. Any volunteers to come and tend them
and keep them neat and tidy?? ;-}
