  2. It's often a process of elimination starting with the tree...sadly usually a much cheaper option than level monitoring over a period of time to better determine the actual cause (which of course may be the tree.) Albeit exceptionally, but we I managed the tree stock in Cheltenham we had a similar situation but in reverse, i.e. (street) trees at the front causing damage at the back...and LPs. Cheers, Paul
  3. 1. ARB Show (Westonbirt): 11th-12th May 2. National Amenity Conference (Exeter): 9th-12th September 3. Other events / training courses (see https://www.trees.org.uk/Training-And-Events ) (APF (Alcester) 20th-22nd September ) Hope to see you there
  4. Hi all, and Happy New Year...I hope it's a prosperous one for you. APOLOGIES for the (very) short notice here but if you're available 'next' Wednesday, 10th Jan., I'm delivering one of the FREE workshops at Rodbaston College, near Penkridge, Staffs (see https://www.trees.org.uk/Training-And-Events/Course-Detail?id=45A1D770-876C-47B8-B815-BC8F5B9C538B for further info and for booking) Hope to see you there.. Paul

  5. Nope, you can pay monthly as it says on the website (see https://www.trees.org.uk/Membership/Ordinary ) and as I checked with Membership Section before emailing you. Cheers, Paul
  6. Although I'm sure someone who's benefited previously when it was an 'open' resource will come to your rescue, you can pay monthly DD (£5.42 per month) for Ordinary Membership too (then you'll be able to access the latest version which includes the Biosecurity assessment.) Cheers, Paul
  7. Briars and blue-bells then eh?
  8. Too late to invest in "bricks and mortar," i.e. property...perhaps "Buy-to-Let" basis (not that I know anything about it but some friends of mine, well acquaintances, seem to do okay and be happy they've got investments for later life...albeit probably subject to Capital Gains taxation???)
  9. Is that what someone might reasonably call "a tree" (the planning definition, or similar, for consideration for a TPO.) I have worked with 'old' TPOs, not made by me, where Hazel has been included as a tree and they were trees at the time...perhaps this one also used to be so, "a (small) tree." I've also seen Hazel included in a woodland TPO where the under-storey is an important feature and included as such. Others include Portugese Laurel, often a small tree, and Cherry Laurel, seldom a small tree...more often a big shrub. An interesting post raising an interesting point. Paul
  10. Sorry Amy, I thought Stephen had acknowledged / replied n he thought I had = confusion prevailing I've just emailed you directly and hope we can get things moving. Bestest..
  11. Hello Philip, Be assured the Association will now conduct it's own thorough investigation and subsequently take any action deemed appropriate. Regards, Paul
  12. Hi there, Many organizations and H&S practices offer H&S training including risk assessment. However if you're looking for one with an 'industry specific' flavor we offer them too (see https://www.trees.org.uk/Training-And-Events ) Regards, Paul
  13. Yep, the previously open resource is now a Member Benefit, for the majority of stuff, and they start at Ordinary Grade (£65 per year.) Sorry for any inconvenience. Regards, Paul
  14. "The matter...referringvto the HSE prosecution. Paul
  15. Cheers Gary, couldn't get a flight Respectfully, I can't disclose any details at this stage as the matter has only just come to my attention. Regards Paul
  16. Either the contract writer not being fully clued up OR the interpretation being misunderstood where the client is requesting a level 3 academic qual + PTI, something I've seen on several occasions. Hope you're well Stewart, Paul
  17. "Inver...where?" I do indeed know about the airport now AND Easy jet fly there from Bristol...result! So, it's looking increasingly like 2-days in Inverness, one of which would be the ARB Approved Contractor workshop, the other...something else Thanks all and will.post back more soon. Best Paul
  18. Hi Amy, "thank you." My work email is [email protected] ...I look forward to reading your email and getting something moving for March 2018. Best, Paul
  19. Hey, not being engaged with the whole of the thread I missed that TBH . So, maybe I could do one day in Pitlochry n one day in Inverness
  20. Absolutely, thanks for that (been a long day.) I do indeed understand...but not sure I can stretch to all those this time round Thanks again.
  21. Forgive me but I've missed your point here...are you saying Pitlochry wouldn't work for you, or is your point a general one? Apologies.. Paul
  22. Trying to pitch it centrally...ish for Perth, Dundee Stirling n Aberdeen too...or have I missed the point n contributors are Inverness'centric? Cheers, Paul
  23. So, Pitlochry (if that's suitable) w/c 19th March I'm happy to do a couple of days mid-week, in conjunction with the Scotland Branch, but my range of courses is limited to ArbAC Preparation Workshop (MANDATORY) / AA Risk Assessment for Commercial Arb. / BS3998 (with CODIT update) / Basic Tree Survey & Inspection (not necessarily at the most 'basic' level) / ARB Knowledge. Would this be viable do you think and anybody know a suitable venue in / around Pitlochry? Thanks all, Paul PS No "GIN" involved...albeit I do like a drop of Plymouth!
