[Alex]

Dear all

 

Only a week to go now so want to keep you updated with the time table and

tell you about the new rules for booking in.

 

Booking in from 5pm Friday Night and Saturday 6am - 8.30am. Booking desk

will close 9am, not entry's will be excepted after this time. If you can get

here on Friday please do. Walk round and briefing 9.30am

 

Sunday Head to head foot lock 9.30am briefing 10am start.

 

Over the last few years I have been trying to do every thing and to this end

climber have not always filled in all they need to or paid. This has wasted

loads of volunteer time chasing you all up.

 

This year it has got to change, money is tight and volunteers have not got

the time and I want to climb.

 

ALL climbers must have a Completed Entry form, wavier, Kit Check and have

paid in full before they will be entered in to a rotation group and allowed

to climb.

 

If you have not yet pre entered please email Julie (Julie Cooper

<[email protected]>) by Tuesday next week with all your details we

require on the form, print and fill in form and sign waiver and hand it in

with payment at the desk on arrival. I have also attached the Climber

inspection form, please fill in all the gear you wish to use and bring it

with your kit ready for inspection, this will speed the check presses up a

lot. Payments, member £25 none member £40, if you wish to join the ISA you

can do so on line Welcome to the International Society of Arboriculture UK and Ireland Chapter - Welcome :: Home :: ISA UK&I Chapter

 

NO Payment or paperwork NO climb No exception. This has got to change to

keep things running smoothly.

 

 

Please remember No dogs on this site please.

What! No dogs! Might not be able to make it then, I've booked work in for the friday which is 40 miles toward the comp site. I'll have to drive 40 miles home to drop dog off (if I can get someone to look after him) then 40 miles just to get to where I started from, then on to the comp. Will be late and grumpy and lonely!!

 

Why no dogs? What have girl guides got to do with anything! Is it going to be like Kibblestone, no dogs allowed and every mf turns up with a dog except me and no one says a word? If so I'm going to throw toys out of pram!

[Peter]

My thoughts exactly.

[Stuart Witt]

My thoughts exactly.

 

Ditto, but hey i wouldnt dream of letting a girl guide come near my dogs as they would eat them....JOKE

[Peter]

Do you mean the Guides would eat the dogs or the dogs would eat the girls?

 

I got thrown out the Scouts for eating a Brownie............

[Amelanchier]

Girl Guides?

29 - 31st July. Only a week to go????????????????

[Josephine Hedger]

DOGS - Sorry guys, thats correct, no dogs allowed on site.

 

The reason for this is that this year we have secured a fantastic site for the competition, which is not stuck in the midle of nowhere, but in a prime location. This has helped hugly with obtaining big named sponsors. As the site is a childs activity centre their policy is no dogs on site. So there will be no dogs. Anyone turing up with dogs will be asked to keep them in their vechicles....theres plenty of forest down the road to take them if finding somone at home to look after them is a problem.

 

As a responsible dog owner, who clears up behind their dog, doesnt allow it to piss on peoples belongs, or roam where it pleases, i do not have a problem with complying with the site owners wishes, and to develop the future competitions.

 

If you do have a problem with this then don't come, they'll be less mess or toys to clear up.

[Josephine Hedger]
