The Arbtalk Charity raffle starts today December 5th 2008 and will run up till 6pm GMT on January 4th 2009 with results expected within 48hours of the closing date. We have a large selection or prizes up for offer and hope you will all take part in this event. All proceeds will be going to www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk. The charity was chosen by the members here at arbtalk last year by means of a poll and has become the chosen benefactor of several events since. This is a private raffle open to Arbtalk members only. It is free to join and participate at Arbtalk and takes only a few minutes to register. Regrettably prizes can only be sent out within the UK. Raffle tickets cost £1 each and are available in runs of 5 tickets. You can purchase your tickets by clicking on the link below.

Your raffle numbers will be assigned to you via the private message function here on Arbtalk once i receive confirmation of your donation from the children's trust. Please allow up to 48 hours for this and slightly longer if you purchase on a weekend. You will also receive a receipt for your transaction.

i plan to do as little as possible.....certainly wont be picking up a chainsaw and harness!

i think in the future you will be shown more respect by tree companies you deal with if they know you have started at the bottom and not just jumped into a cushdy office job

sorry to hear about this patrick

nope, stretch airs are available in type a....any of the arb dealers advertising here on the site will have them

i dont understand...if its all muscle, why wont the stretch air xl fit? the waist or the leg?

ieven if i could make a harness last 10 years, i'd be bored and want a change long before that! in fact by the end of year 1!

this has been up 3 days and no one else commented yet, makes me feel better about my mistake

doh!!

the other thing with buying in wood...unless you are doing it properly with a processor you just arent going to make any money out of it.

you wont get nowhere with any of the timber merchants jay, as andy said, they will be looking after their regular customers only from now on....short of sourcing your own wood from your own jobs you're going to find it very hard to get any sort of a stock going

haha. well the prize list is arb related on the whole. we are going to have a good selection of big prizes this year, but the more the merrier! nice if everyone has a chance of winning something, no matter how small. tickets will be £1 available in runs of 5. full details will be posted when it starts.

yep, the childrens trust again

Hi everyone, just to let you all know that due to my recent holiday things are running slightly behind schedule with this years raffle. hopefully if all goes well by the end of this week it should be live. All the regular site sponsors have been contacted with regards prize donations, but if there are any other distrubutors/manufactuers/vendors or even individual members who wish to contribute in some way to the prize fund then please do get in contact, its all for a good cause! cheers

f.r.jones and honey brothers would be i imagine...possibly gustharts, although they are new on and i havent had a good look through their products as of yet

t'would be nice, i have a stiff neck

anyone ever tried the cling film over the toilet ?

the stihl can is also easier to fill that the husky can unless you have one of those little funnels with the angled spout....thats assuming you fill up from a jeri can like i do.

get a stihl can, ive had the same top on mine since new, a little over a year ago.

a lad i had last year managed to let the discharge shoot on a chipper we were using on another truck blast the chips at the side of my cab that was parked alongside...my first thoughts were "oh dear, what have we got here then", turned out to be one of the best young lads i'd had for a long time.

not used 8 yet. i run both firefox and ie, one on each screen, but i prefer firefox for most things

not 100% sure what you mean john?
