C&G Phase III Amenity Forestry

[David Humphries]

Does anyone remember it or did any of you even take it ?

 

 

As I'm now the wrong side of Forty, I'm trying to piece together my previous dips into education

.

The fact that certs tend to get displaced in moving & that the colleges didn't apparantly have the new fangled comnputer thingy in the late eighties & early nineties........doesn't help very much.

 

 

Any thoughts around the syllabus would be helpful

i reckon part of the syllabus was about trees, but i am only guessing

It may have been, but through the Beery haze of post Pied Bull lunchtimes, it could of been about nuclear fusion for all I remembered

 

 

T'was a good course run by Chris Davies at Capel Manor.

If it was that long ago, and you can not remember the syllabus, then make it up. I doubt that anybody will care/know, unless it is for a job interview and the interviewer is Chris Davies

Us young whipper snappers only had the G&G Phase II Amenity Hort' (Arb) available at Capel.

 

Are you sure you didn't spend a bit too much time at the Pied Bull and just imagined such a course?

ark at you, I bet you were that freckled overly annoying one at the front of the class, with a cramped arm held aloft, saying I know I know, me me me pick me........

 

Did the phase III couple of years after the phase II when the Arb department was still across the big road at Theobolds.

 

Ahhhhh, the rose tinted specs that deliver thoughts of beer, death slides, beer, 3 strand, more beer and some paper based theory about planting pits & root protection & raft piled drive ways

Chris Davis thats a blast from the past, I did the RFS cert arb with him at Capel. Saw him recently at the LTOA meeting at Sion Pk. Top bloke now at Connicks. I have a card somewhere if you need his details.

[tommer9]

Can you educate the neanderthals amongst us as to what the C&G stands for pls...

 

 

edit....City and Guilds??

[David Humphries]

Pommie, I was at Syon for the OPM aswell as Janey.

 

 

Did we meet ?

 

 

I spoke with Chris in the morning before it started.

 

We didn't talk about the course though.

 

 

 

Yep, City & Guilds Tom

 

 

Though saying that, it's entirely possibly it stood for Cider & Guinness
