75 years of groundscare equipment will be on display at the upcoming SALTEX which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham on November 3 and 4.
The new show feature, entitled A History of Groundscare Equipment (stand C065), will display vintage and classic groundscare machinery and tools covering 75 years of the profession. Organisers of the show, the GMA, say with so many machines being showcased, it will offer a nostalgic walk down memory lane for visitors.
Vintage enthusiasts will be able to view a wide array of mowers, sprinklers, rain gauges, sorrel rollers, drag brushes and soil testers.
The feature is being staged by the Hall & Duck Trust which is an internationally recognised organisation, preserving all manner of artefacts from lawnmower development throughout the years. With a collection comprising of over 1000 machines dating back to the 1830s, the Hall & Duck Trust is a respected authority on the history of groundscare equipment, and founders Andrew and Mike will be on the stand to answer visitors' questions.
Furthermore, the history of SALTEX and Grounds Management Association will be outlined throughout the two-day event on the GMA Hub.
Organisers stress that pre-registration to SALTEX 2021 is essential this year. Attendees must print off their badges for entry to the show.
