Rich, have a go at the Axe throwing it's easier than you think, and for a good cause. Pop in and see me and I'll sort you out with the bits you need at the right price.

Looking forward to getting the next Arb show ready this will be our 4th show, and hopefully our biggest to date, the show has grown each year and I'm looking forward to putting some names to faces. Just trying to get an idea on numbers so I've put up a pole. I'd like a bit of feedback on what you guys and girls would like to see in a show, so please let us know and we can see what we can do. We already have free camping, climbing events, talks and a good night of networking and entertainment on the Friday night. And of course the tug of war that the arbtalk team one last year, don't forget to bring your trophy back and see if you can keep it for another year. We want to make this a well attended and most importantly enjoyed by you the visitor. So please let us know what you would like and not like to see happening. If you've not read about what's already happening have a read here. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/news/44458-arb-forestry-event-2012-a.html

Hi All Thanks to all that came along to the show. Great to put names to faces and I did see a few people I wanted to have a chat with but was always busy at the time (I'll try and catch up with you at the next show). Pricing We discounted stuff a little from our website, but in the world of the internet there is not much to play with nowadays, that's just a fact and it's not going to change unless we put up prices the rest of the year. Have a look back and see what you where paying for stuff 5 to 10 years ago, and I bet you will find it's about the same. We as dealers have had to swallow that as it's become so more competitive than in the past. I still enjoy doing the shows, it takes about 7 days work to do a 2 day show and takes me a few days to get over it. Once again thanks to all that got there despite the weather, and looking forward to the next one.

Welcome to the mad world of retail, had a look at the site, looks good and I hope it all goes well fro you.

Cheers Peter. I've got you booking form. I need to get behind letting everyone know about the show now. We want to make this the show that everyone enjoys and wants to attend. In keeping the cost of the show down, free entry, parking, camping etc etc... and very good prices for a stand, we need the good old word of mouth and emails to work for us. So if you know people that want to have a good laugh and pick up a deal, let them know I'm sure they will appreciate it, as will I. There are links here anyone can use to put on there website. Exhibitor resources | F R Jones and Son Cheers, Justin.

Hi Have tried Rich Rule ?

Presented by FR Jones and Son, the Arb and Forestry Event will be hosted by Kingswood Training Services in Shipbourne, Kent on 13-14 July 2012. Organised with the working arborist and forestry professional in mind, this show really should have something for everyone. Including competitions, demonstrations and seminars, there will be plenty to see and do; highlights of the show itinerary will be the Three Peaks Arb Ascent challenge in aid of Help for Heroes, the South East regional heat of the Arboricultural Association Arborist Tree Challenge (3ATC) competition and the return of the ISA UK&I ArborCamp. Visitors will be treated to a great range of traders and exhibitors offering the chance to see, test and buy the best new products available. Featuring MEWPS, chippers, saws, stump grinders, insurance and more shiny things than you can shake a stick at! Free entry, free parking and free on-site camping Entry, parking and on-site camping remain absolutely free of charge at the Arb and Forestry Event, making this a very accessible show. While camping is free, we do need to manage numbers, so please fill out the online booking form first if you intend to camp. The Three Peaks Arb Ascent Sponsored by Trust Insurance and Stein, in aid of Help for Heroes, the aim of the challenge is to climb the combined height of the Three Peaks (Scafell Pike 3162ft, Snowdon 3560ft and Ben Nevis 4409ft) using multiple fixed-line ascents to a point set at 50ft within the tree canopy. This makes a total of 11,131ft over 223 ascents, which we will attempt to have completed within the 2 days of the Arb and Forestry Event. This is a team effort to reach a set goal, not a competition, so we will not be timing any of the climbs. There will, however, be special prizes awarded for: Most ascents Fanciest dressed ascent Most ‘creative’ ascent (but please remember this is a family show!) Oldest climber Youngest climber For more details about the challenge and how to take part, please visit the show website at www.frjonesandson.co.uk/show/the-three-peaks-arb-ascent/ ISA UK&I ArborCamp After its success last year, the ISA UK&I ArborCamp will return to the Arb and Forestry Event for 2012. The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is the worlds biggest group of professional arborists with over 20,000 members, distributed throughout 38 "Chapters" across the 5 continents. The ISA ArborCamp is intended to be a combination of education, networking and social interaction for arborists from all backgrounds. The ISA will be putting on a wide variety of workshops and seminars at the show over both days, so don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and pick up some new tricks. For more information about the ISA, go to www.isa-arboriculture.org. 3ATC Competition 3ATCThe South East regional heat of the Arboricultural Association Arborist Tree Challenge (3ATC) climbing competition is becoming a regular feature of the Arb and Forestry Event. Safely climb around the tree canopy in one of three levels; Novice, Expert or Premier. With £300 of prizes already donated by 3ATC sponsors FR Jones and Son and Stein, it's got to be worth having a go. Entry fee remains only £10 and all entrants will receive a Stein goody bag! For entry forms and more information go to www.3atc.com. Axe Throwing competition Channel your inner Viking Warrior and try your luck in our axe-throwing competition. That’s right – take your stress out on a defenceless target, feel better and oddly primeval at the same time (horned helmet optional). Not only can you win the kudos of being the most skilled axe warrior, but it's only £2 entry for 5 throws and all proceeds go straight to the Children’s Trust. Time to start perfecting your best war-cry… Seminars and workshops It's not all fun and games - this is a trade event after all! Come and learn something new from one of our wide range of seminars, talks and workshops including: “Arb Master Classes” (with the UKI 2012 Tree Climbing Competition Champions) Tree dismantling workshop (by Kingswood Training Services) “Tree Climbers Corner” (run by the ISA ArborCamp) An update of pest & disease management strategies (Bartlett Tree Experts) Soil de-compaction demonstration (Bartlett Tree Experts) Also, new for this year; learn about the Business end of Arb and Forestry with these expert sessions from Elcoat Ltd: Customer Care Marketing Business Terms and Conditions Tug-of-War A big hit last year, the Tug-of-War competition will return again to allow the reigning champions the opportunity to defend their trophy. Enter a team of 5 members to challenge their title. Networking and social We know this isn’t the reason you come to the shows (much) but, to help you relax and mingle with your fellow professionals, there will be a quality catering stall and well-stocked bar, which we’re sure will help refresh you after a hard day’s work. The bar and catering will be open late on the Friday evening and we will be hosting some musical entertainment and a bonfire to aid with the networking activities. The Arb and Forestry Event is a return to the shows of old, with its relaxed atmosphere and emphasis on the social side of professional networking. Definitely not one to miss. Go to www.frjonesandson.co.uk/show for more information.

We should be able to help you with chains. Chain loops | F R Jones and Son

I should be able to get you one. I think they are about £3.00 each.

I'm going to get plippy to have a go at this.

Yes I will be.

We have had a few people test it on our climbing wall, and so far the feedback has been good.

May be a bit longer now, and the CE mark will take longer then I first thought. I'll keep you informed as to when it ill be here.

I am hoping to have the new one soon but can't give a date on this yet. Not sure when it will be CE marked yet, as I think this takes a lot longer than I hoped. I'll keep you updated on when it will be here as and when I hear anything.

Thank you guys. We try our best.

No problem. We are going to put a form on the website so people can book saws in from anywhere in the UK for a collection and repair.

They did used to do 2 and have just bought back a cheaper 3/8050 chain. We will only be stocking the pro version.
