ISA - Ride For Research Is a fundraising bike ride event taking place on 23rd March 2011 We're aiming to raise funds for urban tree research and to use the event as an educational opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of urban trees in schools. Funds raised will be used for research into a major problem with our nations Oaks known as Acute Oak Decline. The bike ride will cover 15-20 miles and will visit three schools in Brent, Camden and Harrow (Glebe School). In each ‘tarmac blighted’ school 2-3 trees (big shade tree species) will be planted. At each school, children will be involved in the planting as a key opportunity to convey the benefits of urban trees. For more information contact Jean McDermott at the ISA Chpt office on Tel. 0121 556 8302 or email her at [email protected] or Russell [email protected] We're pleased to announce that Ride for Research is being supported by Red Foundation, a charity who are collecting donations on our behalf (more info below).

Dr David Lonsdale - Tree Safety Consultant, Writer & Lecturer "Research on trees, especially on diseases, is now more important than ever before. In the UK, we face an unprecedented number of serious diseases and 'pests' that have either been newly discovered, or that have arrived here through international trade. At the same time, climate change seems to be making matters worse, by creating favourable conditions for a range of diseases and pests. On top of all this, massive cuts in public spending are causing concern about our ability to do research and to care for our trees. I am therefore delighted that the ISA UK/I Chapter Ride for Research will be supporting research on acute oak decline, one of the most potentially worrying 'new' diseases". Many thanks to our sponsors: Barcham Trees, Capita Symonds, City Suburban Tree Surgeons & Gem Tree Management.... thanks also for the support of Trees for Cities.

I have to agree with Veners & Monkey-D I have two apprentices on the Trees & Timber Level 2 NVQ Apprenticeship at Capel working in the South East and its a very good opportunity for the lads to get an introduction to the industry.

Try and run a Old K reg Classic Ranger Rover 3.9 V8 petrol (when its working) and your'll get quite close to 400 million

Thats fine don't worry about it, negative or positive feedback everyone has there own opinion.

Well as I said before no one is forcing any one to apply. But thanks for the feedback.

The cost of living is not that bad, it depends on what your use too. You’re almost right with the minimum wages for Ireland From 1 July 2007 the national minimum wage for experienced adult employees and the sub-minimum rates for young people and certain trainees are as follows: Experienced adult worker €8.65 Aged under 18 €6.06 First year from date of first employment aged over 18 €6.92 Second year from date of first employment aged over 18 €7.79 Employee aged over 18, in structured training during working hours 1st one third period €6.49 2nd one third period €6.92 3rd one third period €7.79 However I must add that Ireland is currently borrowing €400 million a week from the European central bank to run the country. And has just had the An Bord Snip Nua report which advising the Government on public spending says”it has identified savings of up to €5.3 billion, along with a cut of 17,300 in the number of people working in the public service” So the average €50k will come down and come down by a lot.

Sorry, Lee that’s the basic wage, you should be able to earn more than that with commission thou :0)

And don’t forget the 30 different types of rain :0)

Cheers Shreks Wee Brother :0)

Thanks Steve :0)

Try Honey Brothers.

So you won't be applying then :0) But the goods news is, we'd had a lot of very good applications and some stating they saw the advert on ArbTalk! So €30'000 can't be that bad then ? Ian
