ARE YOU IN OR OUT?
Taking a barometer of the industry's European referendum opinion
by TurfPro Editor, Steve Gibbs
With a little under two months to go until the EU Referendum, the campaign is really starting to gather pace.
It is becoming increasingly inescapable on TV, radio, the press, the internet - and now the TurfPro newsletter I'm afraid!
Arguments may abound regarding whether the whole endeavour was even necessary, but the fact remains coming up soon is a once in a generation decision which we all have a duty to have our say in.
So therefore, now seems to be a good time to try to get a sense of how our industry is feeling on the matter, by asking you to take our survey.
Turf Professionals, how do you feel an exit would affect your working life? Would waking up on Friday June 24th to find we are no longer a member of the European Union have a negative impact on the work that you do? Would it be business as usual? Or would you find it entirely liberating?
To manufactuers and distributors - would no longer being within the EU make international trading much harder for your company? Or would little practically change? Or indeed would you find business life a whole lot easier?
Personally, I have been finding both campaigns rather confusing - with neither really catching fire yet. However, I'm pretty sure I know what I believe - but I'll be following developments closely over the coming weeks.
What I do know however, is just how important it is that everyone excerises their democratic right to have their opinion heard.
So help us take a barometer of where the industry stands at the moment. It'll only take you second. And we're very interested to see if there's a difference of opinion across the home nations - so please answer the question in either the England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland section, depending on where you're located. And don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page to click Submit!
We'll just ask whether you want to remain or leave, if you're a turf professional, dealer or a manufacturer/distributor and also give you the option of leaving a comment on your thoughts of how our industry could be affected.
We're fascinated to find out what you think. We'll let you know the results next week.
