Ross. You are going back a while, 94 when I left Castle machinery. Peter carried on for a while and I think he is still trading as a contractor somewhere. I Stopped doing NPTC tests in 2000.
Still selling a few chippers,stump grinders etc but have spent the last year working with a chipper manufacturer developing machines.
Arb Consulting still pays well and am very happy to still be in the game working and dealing with many long term customers who have become good mates.

I met you at the great york show 1993 & peter (not sure if you)came to Newton Aycliffe in the august to do my units 20,21,22 assesment one day when it was pouring down.
Small world.

Great day out at Capel Manor on Friday, met up with a few of you. Cheers to t/wolf150 for the beers etc on his stand. I think C/M was more user-friendly than the bigger shows. Plenty of time to discuss (or slag off) various products, see and try out new ideas and have a good laugh as well. oh well back to the grind-stone again tomorrow.

Just passed my CS38 today!
So close to failing it was untrue. Had no prior experence just did the 5 day course and then the exam 2 weeks later. I'm safe to climb though got to get some kit and start practicing to build up more confidence.
