Perfect Weather For Arb Show

[5 shires]

Well the weather is perfect for the Arb Show this year and if things were normal in this crazy world we are living in at the moment I would be doing a small Conifer job tomorrow in Cheltenham,quick drive back home sort myself out and then a nice little drive down to tetbury and through to westernbirt and be at the Holford for about 6.30/7 meet up with the lads who are camping or staying in the lodges or the pub few beers/food,chat and general catch up(I was staying down the next village this year as I couldn’t get in at the Holford Arms it was fully booked up months ago.

 

Then up for a nice breakfast on Saturday morning and a slow drive up to the show for 9am opening,sun shining,all the lads who don’t see from one year to the next,beers,burgers,buying stuff that you don’t need,good walk around about 100 times in a circle seeing the same stuff you looked at on the 50th time but what a lovely thought to be knowing you would be doing that and a shit thought knowing it won’t be happening this year(maybe the APF will still go ahead in September as I haven’t herd anything about it being cancelled yet).

 

looking forward to Arb Show next year and maybe we can have a massive celebration and make up for missing this year?

It won't be the same but we've got the Virtual ARB Show opening tomorrow morning with some great deals, demos and discounts. Loads of great free online learning and guidance. I'll attach some previews.

 

APF still going ahead and we are going to be hosting a tree worker zone with seminar tent, workshops, tree climbers forum. Fingers crossed.
