It's complicated. I'm getting some funding for this so changing training centres would mess everything up as I believe the grant money gone in already. It's also the nearest to me.

 

MattyF, I'm in Luton (), thanks for your advice. I will PM him tomorrow if he doesn't respond on here. Cheers

I have an old MS180 you can have for free if you can get to Gloucester to pick it up, it will need a new needle bearing and circlip as the old circlip pinged off and the bearing stuck itself to the side of the clutch cover! These shouldn't be more than a tenner I wouldn't have thought, drop me a PM if you're interested

 

I don't think anything else is damaged but can't gaurantee it, anyway if it's of any use it's yours it has a 12" bar/chain

 

cheers,

Joe

Aah ok, fair enough.

 

Did you look into Capel Manor, Enfield? Pretty close to you.

Can't help any more than has already been offered I'm afraid Odd Bird.

 

32" trousers (Hiflex), size 9 boots (Haix) if you want them.

 

I could put on a wig, some makeup and my best lady voice and offer to do the course for you, but it would be pretty embarassing if I failed it. Which I probably would, if I'm honest!

 

Be careful with saws though.

 

30 is maintenance, so you would struggle if someone lends you an old dog.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with PPE & equipment, but I can help you with learning this stuff! Take a look at Drive Link for CS30 (chainsaw maintenance) information and contact me through PM if you have any difficulties getting to grips with this new world you're entering

 

Of course, you could always ask here on ArbTalk - as you're finding out, everyone here is really friendly and wants to help out as much as they can.

 

Cheers,

David.

i did my tickets at shuttleworth and it wasnt that expensive and i didnt have to supply anything? they have everything there? trust me ive been in the workshop. sounds a bit odd to me mate.

Hi,

Thanks everyone. I'm seriously and pleasantly surprised how very helpful you people are

I think I better wait for the confirmation letter first before I begin arranging anything. The office staff might have got it wrong. I will get back to you then. As suspected, the place I'm volunteering @ were useless! Shame one them! Thanx again.

update:

so I spoke to someone who actually works there and they said that I won't need to bring my own chainsaw

 

I will need a pair of boots (ordered), a helmet (will be ordered once I decode all those regulations and stuff ) and the trousers.

If anyone have and would like to sell me the size small trousers plz PM. I'm keeping my eye on anything up to £40 on e-bay for now.

 

Thank you to all of yous who offered your help!
