We are looking for a or some chainsaw carvers for our show on the 26th & 27th of July. We would welcome anyone that can come along and entertain some of the visitors and offer you a free stand for your services. Or if anyone fancies arranging a comp for a few carvers you are more than welcome. And I'll come up with a prize.

I've been to the site today and checked out the tree. We will have at least 4 lines in, 2 x DRT & 2 x SRT. There will be loads of kit there for those that don't have their own and guys from Kingswood Training to help those of you that want to give it a go for the first time. This is a couple of pics from last years, so you can get a look at the tree involved. So come on who's up for it. Full details are here. Climb a Landmark Challenge | F R Jones and Son

I will take some kids harnesses with me, and no you don't have to book to enter the climbing event. Just turn up and have as many goes as your body will allow.

Yes at the moment he is coming over.

Well, now that the AA Arb Show is all done, we're getting ready to return to Kingswood Training Services in Kent for another Arb and Forestry Event on 26-27 July 2013. We've got a great line-up of exhibitors, activities and learning opportunities so make sure you mark the dates in your diary and register now to claim your free show goodie bag at the gate » Climb a Landmark Challenge The Climb a Landmark Challenge is a registered charity event to raise money for Help for Heroes. The aim of the challenge is to climb the equivalent height of various well-known landmarks using multiple fixed-line ascents to a point set at 50ft within the tree canopy. There is something for all levels of climber; from the Parthenon (1 ascent), to the Taj Mahal (11 ascents), to the Shard (20 ascents), so set your sights as high as you like! This is a charity event, not a competition, so we will not be timing any of the climbs. There will, however, be special prizes awarded for: Highest landmark climbed Fanciest dressed ascent Most ‘creative’ ascent (but please remember this is a family show!) Oldest climber Youngest climber If you would like to take part or support the charity effort, please visit the Climb a Landmark Challenge » page on the show website Arb Association seminars and workshops The AA will be hosting expert seminars, workshops and demonstrations on a wide range of subjects and techniques throughout both days. Including marketing, bracing techniques and pest and disease management, even the most seasoned Arborist should be able to come away with some new tricks.

Caravans etc are permitted and fresh water will be available on site, but there is no provision for electricity. Evening entertainment In keeping with our mission to bring back the social side of professional networking, we will be providing some entertainment for the Friday evening. The bar will be open until midnight-ish and there will be a bonfire and DJ to help liven things up. If it's anything like previous years, it will be worth staying on for. --------------------------------- All this for FREE - free parking, free entry, free camping - so who wants to join us to 'network' over a beer or two?

Not sure yet but it will be a deal that's for sure.

I'll have the Stihl BG86 at the Arb show.

Date of first use. As long as you record it on your records.

If the further afield guys want to attend a show, if you car share and make it down to mine, you can camp over and I'll buy you all a pint for making the effort. We will be running a tug o war in the evening so put a team together and see if you can take the trophy of the other northern guys that one it last time.

I can only assume Radmores have not been told correctly. We have been informed it's on everything. If I hear any different I'll let you know.

Hi You are correct there are good and bad ones, we once got offered cheep ones and had to send them back after it collapsed on one of our staff demoing it. Luck we didn't sell any. These are good and not just because I sell we use them to set up the trade shows, my loft ladder and in the shop. Telescopic ladder 1m - 3.8m | F R Jones and Son

Honey Brothers will be your best place.

Congrats. Wish you all the very best.

A company called WeWood. WeWood Watches UK - Wewoodwatches.co.uk I did try to get an account with them and might try again, at the time about 3 years ago they couldn't do it.

Quality I do like a watch not quite in the same league as the one you've posted, but I have one of these.

We have some of the 2012 models left and yes we will still be able to get the new ones.

We will have them in stock as soon as they come in, we have been told that we will have them fom the AA. As soon as they are in I'll let you know.

No problem:thumbup:

Hi The new trousers will be up on the website next week, and yes we will have the helmet at the show.

Been told for the AA show and about £180 ish

Now I thought that and one of the guys at work said he would put his money and locker keys for the gym in it.
