Stumpgrinder accident.

Fellow member and a good friend to many on here had a seriously bad accident on Wednesday. A stumpgrinder wheel ran up the back of his leg and at worst Dave D may lose it as a result. I not interested in delving into why it happened just thinking of Dave and his family at present.

He's going to be in hospital for a long time so if anyone would like to chip in to get him something nice Justin has very kindly opened this on his website.
