FREE SEMINAR TO SHOW HOW LOCAL SPORTS FACILITIES COULD PAY FOR THEMSELVES!
Added on 12th January 2012
Schools and local authorities are being invited to an exclusive free seminar focusing on an exciting flexible funding service that makes it easy and affordable to achieve first-class sporting facilities.
At a time when public money is tighter than ever before, Fast Track Funding offers an ideal solution to enhance sports facilities with a brand new Notts Sport all-weather pitch – at little or no upfront cost!
What’s more, with most sports facilities able to generate revenue through community use, this revenue can either reduce the overall cost significantly or make the facility pay for itself.
To showcase this fantastic initiative, Notts Sport is hosting a series of 12 special Continuing Professional Development events for schools and local authorities across the UK throughout February and March.
With Fast Track Funding, qualifying customers won’t have to wait to secure funding for their Notts Sport surfacing solutions such as MUGAs, hockey pitches, 3G artificial football pitches or tennis courts, or spend time applying for grants to cover the cost of their ideal project.
Instead, Notts Sport will provide a flexible funding solution with repayments spread over an agreed period to suit their specific budget. So depending on the customer’s requirements, Notts Sport could provide full funding for the facility or supply part of the cost to top up existing funds.
Shaun Patrick, Chairman of Notts Sport, says: “These informative professional seminars will introduce our flexible funding scheme to staff from schools and local authorities to ensure they can achieve top-notch sports facilities for their communities – even in these times of economic austerity.
“With Fast Track Funding, whether it’s a brand new project or the refurbishment of an existing pitch, the new facility can be installed straight away – and we can provide valuable advice on how customers can earn additional income from their new sporting facilities, ensuring they start to pay for themselves almost straight away.”
Notts Sport designed facilities are the cost-effective way to provide a wide range of sports and activities in one self-contained area, and are proven to be long-lasting options designed to minimise life costs for the operators.
Notts Sport’s high-quality solutions comprise every component required for the scheme to create just the right performance for activities such as football, hockey and tennis, from base construction through to performance layers and synthetic grass surfacing.
The package of facility design options includes every element of the scheme including drainage, access arrangements, perimeter fencing and floodlighting. Even new car parking areas or additional non-synthetic turf facilities can be delivered as part of the contract and Notts Sport’s service.
And not only will customers benefit from Notts Sport’s Design & Advisory Service – provided at no additional cost to the materials supplied – but the project will also be put out to competitive tender among the company’s approved installers, guaranteeing the best possible value for money.
The company, which has over 27 years of experience in the sports and play surfacing sector, also assures full quality control throughout the installation through its free project management service.
The events are being held in Newcastle, West Midlands, Berkshire, Manchester, Exeter, Cambridge, Chester, Hounslow, Glasgow, Surrey, Cardiff and Sheffield.
Staff from schools and local authorities can find out more and reserve their place by filling out the online form (click here), emailing info@nottssport.com or calling 01455 883730.

ChildsPlay Active opens up a new dimension of fun for pupils
Added on 26 September 2011
Youngsters in Leicestershire are enjoying a whole new world of play after the successful installation of a bespoke Notts Sport ChildsPlay Active system at their school.
Pupils at Gilmorton Chandler Primary School near Lutterworth were delighted to return after their summer holidays and discover their old playground had been given a wholesale makeover, with a colourful Notts Sport designed facility installed over the old surface.
Because ChildsPlay Active is available in a range of bright colours and brings together opportunities for sport, play and education in one place, the children are experiencing a new and exciting playground environment. Patterns, games, themes, letters and numbers can be incorporated into the design to promote learning as well as fun and healthy exercise.
“The children are delighted with the new playground and the vibrant new ideas are already enriching traditional sport and play,” says headteacher Marie Sandford.
“Our huge thanks go to Notts Sport who designed and installed the new play area to showcase a range of their products.”
Youngsters at the school are also keen to sing the praises of their new playground service...
“You don’t have to think of lots of games because there are lots of things on the rug you can do.” Abbie, Class D
“It is nice and soft and I like the orange circles because they are like stepping stones.” Carla, Class N
“It’s colourful like a rainbow, making you feel happier and cheering you up.” Melissa, Class I
“I like the interactive bits – the games are fun.” Charlie, Class

New tufted cricket pitch range putts us ahead of the game
Added on 26 July 2011
We are celebrating having a total of seven state-of-the-art pitch systems approved by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) – more than any other supplier.
The superior range that has won the approval of the ECB is a direct result of our move to offering systems surfaced with high-calibre tufted artificial turf.
Advancements in tufted product development and manufacturing techniques mean our latest pitch systems with a tufted surface are a cut above traditional synthetic pitches, and can outperform traditional woven surfaced facilities as well as providing a more natural turf appearance.
Our Tufted surfacing products used in our pitch systems range include the premium NG12 carpet, a tough, hard-wearing and proven design that lasts an average of 12 years as part of a Notts Sport system and comes with the reassurance of a guarantee covering the first half of this forecast lifespan. The new NG7 carpet provides a highly economical alternative for pitch systems, offering a lifespan at least on a par with that of a woven surface.
We offer free condition checks for any existing artificial turf cricket facilities and its first-rate systems can be designed as a pitch refurbishment or as a new installation.
