Who votes we should have arb talk as a recognised body?

[Gardiners Tree Surgery]

Came to me earlier today. We have aa approved contractors and isa

Why don't we have a thing set up with before and afters or testimonials and become arbtalk approved

Just a fun thought

[steve@black]

Nearly spat my teeth out , have you been medically checked out recently

[Bren.]

Because we are a public forum. Not everyone on here works in the industry, or if they do, they are not always representative of the best of it (mostly, but not always).

[Shane]

We, as a group, can't agree on what chainsaw or chipper is best. How would we get a consistent view on antything to do with work?

 

We would end up with more governing bodies than there are tree companies.

 

As stated above this is a forum where differences are (believe it or not) welcomed and we can all learn something. Just can't see that it can be something else.

The thing that makes this forum thing work is our independence from all official bodies. Yes, we're involved and talk to them (and them to us) and it's a happy balance I think. The Arb Asscn has recognised this forums input in the industry with an award for what we do for the industry as a whole, which was good. But who are we to judge others work? Who would do the judging? Without bias or favour. No this is a forum for discussing tree work and associated industries, and that's all it is.

Ok was just a fun thought I had at work. See where you are coming from with a place to post and talk freely

[Andy Collins]

Nice to see we are in your thoughts during the day, when you wake in the night

Always in my thoughts, bit of a life saver sometimes with id on things and advise

Plus met a good few contacts, can't speak highly enough of arb talk
