By Jim Novak


TPI members who plan to travel to England or Ireland and would like to visit a fellow turfgrass producer while they are in the UK are encouraged to contact Tim Mudge, Chief Executive of Turfgrass Growers Association Ltd. in advance so TGA can help coordinate the visit. In a letter to TPI, Mudge wrote, “If any TPI members are ever in the UK and we can help them get in contact with UK turf producers, please ask them to contact us. We’re always happy to help better communications and share knowledge.” Be sure to provide reasonable advance notice so Tim can offer his assistance.
