East of England Cutters & Climbers Comp 2012 (and results!)

[Amelanchier]

Its time again for our annual Cutters and Climbers competition at the East of England game fair on the 28th and 29th April at the Norwich Showground, Norfolk. As with all previous years we strive to make things bigger and better every time around - I'll add details as I get them.

 

The competition is open to all qualified climbers and chainsaw operators regardless of age and gender. It consists of three individual climbing, spiking and chainsaw events with separate and combined prizes for each. The vast majority of competitors compete in all three, with the chance to win the much coveted ‘Most Employable Person’ title, based on scores from all three events.

 

• Climbing event, a solo simulated work scenario tests climbers with a variety of targets and aerial challenges such as our hair trigger limb walk which challenges competitors to get as far out on an artificial branch as they can without setting off an alarm.
  
• Chainsaw event competitors are expected to fell a standing stem, de-limb and cross cut an artificial tree with points will be awarded for the precision of cuts and the time taken to achieve them.
  
• Pole climb pits two competitors head to head up the largest poles we can transport down the road. Although these fall short of the 80ft monsters that you might find at the UK championship, they more than make up for it in speed and splinters.
  
• Team relay events (Spiking/Felling/Snedding/Axe Crosscut)
  

 

Send the entry form attached below to [email protected] ASAP. Whilst we try to get tickets out to all those who enter prior to the show, you'll understand that if we recieve your entry form the day before the show it'll be tricky to arrange tickets by post.

 

Different date to Capel this year so expecting to see all those who usually make excuses!
