Hi John, good to hear.

 

We do have one 'penciled in' for Northumberland on 6th Feb. (TBC)...or Cheshire (Sandbach) in October.

 

TBH the Northumberland event will be provisionally booked but unless there's a min. 6 delegates it won't run  ...let's hope the contractors from the far North (Scotland) will travel souff..

 

Cheers,

Paul

PS ...and we no longer need to see 'crown thinning' as a mandatory completed job, it's been changed to 'optional'...but crown lift is now mandatory (previously optional.)

 

PPS We do still need to see 'standard' tree planting, i.e. 8-10s, but only x1 example for most businesses.

Cheers for your replies Paul, I think the TKF one is looking best for us.

What’s brought about the change in the pruning stuff.

Thanks mate

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Lesser call for crown thinning pruning really, plus concerns if do incorrectly, because people unfamiliar, can result in crown structure damage. Can still be presented in optionals 2 from 4.

Cheers John

I suppose a lot of people do just lions tail stuff and call it thin.

Cheers Paul see you there.
