Amateur clubs have no paid officials, with the exception of a groundsman to look after the pitch.
We must remember not only the competitors but those who work behind the scenes, such as the groundsmen, the maintenance men and the ticket sellers.
I am wondering about gardeners, cooks and groundsmen at communities, for example.
In all these regiments men are employed as groundsmen, bath-house men and road sweepers, and in consequence they have no training.
But does not the groundsman's case also include the case of attendants at bowling greens as well?
It is common knowledge that groundsmen are employed by the clubs to tend the pitch.
Because the pit no longer exists, there is no organisation to employ a groundsman.
I have no power to require groundsmen or green-keepers to take up agricultural work.
