Aus Arb Utility Comp 2008

[ClimbingNev]

That you J???????

I think this thread goes some way to opening up to the outside world what is happening within utility arb at the moment!

It is on the up and up and (speaking from experience in most areas of arb!) HEALTH & SAFETY WISE I think utilities are setting the standard industrywide!!

I have competed and was in the winning team 2007.

I will be putting a team together ready for this sept totally independantly (with sponsorship. I managed to find a well known Arb setup director who shared my way of thinking over a beer at the tradefair, AA arborists team challenge barbecue) so the big companies better watch out

Hey nice thread!

PS if it is you giz a message!

Cheesewire and Luger waiting for you!

Is any body competing on tuesday at canterbury uni in the AUS arb skills challange

[Ross Smith]

I think this year it will be held at the university in canterbury on the tuesday of the arb association conferance, AUS utility supplies are the main organisers and sponsers a chap called Paul Hornby runs the main of the event with help from Bill Kewwinder,Paul Hansen and several other judging the diciplines.

It would be great to get a few more private firms involved from the private sector.

is that canterbury kent ??

I am not to sure of all the results, but the top 3 were Oakwick Utiity arborists 1st West Coast energy 2nd

Fountains c 3rd.

 

we put a team in for the first time from Poletecs and came 8th.

 

Brockwell Forestry came last but fair play they had never been before and it is quite daunting to start with.

I have entered 5 times now 4 of those with fountains.

We have some photos from this year to post just waiting for them to be emailed.
