The unit where the magic will happen... and the conditions

Postby Luke » Thu Sep 30, 2010 11:40 am

We've got a provisional offer of a loan unit in Ipswich,there are a few drawbacks tho :?

to satisfy the insurance will need on site at all times

A fire warden
A H&S officer
A Qualified first aider

Does anyone have these qualifications or experiance in these areas :?: mabe through your work :?: and fancy coming along for the weekend either post up here of PM me :D

Also - we dont have to use this unit, ideally we could do with a more central location so if you know anywhere we could possably borrow (the weekend will be JULY/AUGUST 2011) then post up - it would be ideal if we had a choice of locations to pick from and also if one backs out then the whole project isnt in jeopardy :shock:

all the a unit would need is enough space to work on 2 vans and some electric power :D we dont need specialist lifts, ramps and cranes as we'll be bringing those with us. There would need to be a local area close by for us to park up and camp on tho :)

Hi Luke,
Having been a firefighter for 23 years I could cover all those for you…
Would not be able to commit though until I knew the dates as it would depend on my shifts.
But please put it down as a possibility.

Cheers
Trevor.

nice one guys 8) it's good we can more volenteers than needed just incase somone has to back out - we dont want the whole project to fail because of it :shock: :(

same goes for the unit - if you know of some other unit we could potentially use please let us know :D - again we dont want to be given back word on this one at the last minute and be stuck with nowhere to do it :!:
