Seriously, chain saws that might have petrol in them, probably not allowed in the school!

 

They have risk assessments too remember.

 

Its only a small school and I'm a governor and I do all the H&S stuff for them, so it'll be fine:sneaky2:

Bring a freshly cut slice of a trunk to allow them to look and feel and guess how old the tree was - and have a small present to the one getting closest to the true age (you count IS the true age).

 

Take a disc of timber in as well as the kids will like to count the rings

 

I was going to cut a load of coaster sized rings and give them all one to keep.

This is great lads!!!

 

Please keep it coming, I was going to take in my harness and rope, but not a saw, now after Andy's suggestion I'll take my 020 and 880 to show the difference in size.

 

The rain forest and conservations stuff is a good idea, I'll mention my bat inspecting work.

 

Rope and harness as if its in the hall I,m sure there will be some form of anchor point for a demo . Kids will love that . Some carved mushrooms . Spare ear defenders to pass round . Helmet and ppe . A small branch for a demo of the silky .

just tip the fuel out the saw mate, simples. but remember they are kids, so they will be super excited and will just want to have a carry on. i remember all the folk that came to my school as a kid, so what you are doing is great and will really stick in their heads. the teachers will help you out aswell. but defo take an 88, they will just laugh at the o20, if its in their main hall they might have some beams to throw your line over and hang your harness up. but i would just get them all outside to see the mog, job done

There is no vehicle access to any of the yards (very old school) and no where to park out side.

 

Most of the kids will have seen my mog going past.
