Dennis is supplying 27 of its top-of-the-range mowers to the stadiums staging the World Cup in South Africa next month. The company, in its current and former guises, has a great history of supplying mowers to sportsgrounds throughout the UK and overseas. Many collectors will have seen images of Dennis machines in use at venues such as Wembley Stadium and Lord's Cricket Ground. You can see a video about the latest order, which Dennis says is its most prestigious ever, by clicking here.

The world speed record for a lawn mower could be broken on the weekend of 22/23 May when Project Running Blade takes its machine to the world famous Pendine beach in Wales. You can see the mower being put through its paces in a trial run.
