Pictures of Chipper Course and Assessment

[John Hancock]

Bit of a different day today.

 

We’re putting some of the lads who work in the parks through the NPTC chipper course. I had my camera because we needed some pictures to link the training in with a lottery bid for the park. Trainer was Chris Wyatt, nice chap! Anyway someone might be interested……

has the chap doing the felling got a bad back ? bench felling ?

[John Hancock]

That’s Tom the apprentice, he’s doing ok now…getting more mature! We don’t like bending over here in Worcester, especially in the parks!

heard it was a bit dodgey or is that doggy ??

Can you get extra funding for new picnic benches??

 

 

hehe.

 

Is the chipper course still a one-day affair?? I was told recently that they're going to be changing it to a two day job!

We had 6 people through today and we were finished nice and early. I dont know how they could make it last two days. Its not rocket science

I've got 5 of us to put through chipper tickets at the end of february, and we're being told that we have to do all the training on one day, and the assessments the next day - like you say, it's not rocket science, how can it take a day to learn how to operate a chipper?? I'm convinced its just a money making thing..

Oh-god! Chipper related photos are obviously so boring ‘Tuffnell’ remarks are being made!

 

Stoxs, if you’re a 19yr. Old (female) volley-ball champion, with an interest in chippers I’m made-up I don’t suppose you are though……?

[stoxs]

a volley ball champion ? NOT likely

 

19? LOL nearly double that

 

female? ummmmm NO

 

i guess with your reply it has been mentioned a few times before?

 

as for the chipper course well, nice photos!!!
