and me

[Arthur Brown]

Thank you all, there are a couple of places left, on a first cheque to arrive basis.

The asking price is £150. However as we will now cover costs there will be a divi of the profit before we part, on the day, possible donation to the society?

[Arthur Brown]

One suggestion for the helmet/visor/muffs

look at http;//rswww.com and search for 494-9785

Their trade counters will have them. The set is boxed by Peltor so you can fit all the bits together. No doubt several other PPE sellers will have like or similar.

If using separates then please ensure they fit properly.

Yep also try ARCO, they even do high temperature visors.

[Arthur Brown]

There are actually lots of suppliers of PPE!

For our purposes the visor, helmet and ear muffs should be totally compatible. Often this means that they will be one manufacturer's supply.

there are currently two places un assigned, If you want one please email me through the forum for booking details.

The course could run again next year if there is sufficient interest.

[Bob Twells]

Is there any word on whether all the places were filled? I sent my money but haven't heard anything since.

[Arthur Brown]

Course now full!

Those who have sent payment should have a PM or EMail from me with the full joining details. If you haven't a message then please contact me soon by forum email! There is one cq that I cannot associate with a forum tag name. Paying participants can debate whether they prefer a full divi of the surplus or a donation to the society or part both. -Presuming the society would accept a donation.

Icarus has offered to locate other B&B type establishments in the walk and drive vicinity.

The usual campground is available. Yes it's going to be a long day so sleep will be necessary for passing the course and getting home safely.

Right!!! I need some help. I'll be ordering my 'Proban' suite in the next couple of days, no problem there, but I'm finding it REALLY hard to find the head gear needed and it's starting to p##s me off. Can someone PLEASE help on this one??

Hard Hat with 9" polycarbonate full face visor and ear defenders, all must be compatible with each other.

It's proving to be very hard to find, I mean I can get 'Nomex' fighter pilot suites for less than I can get 'Proban' suites

If this meets the course requirements, I'm going to bloody kiss you at the next meet LOL

[phildunford]

Could Arthur clarify...

I have a Peltor hard hat with integral ear defenders and a full face polycarbonate shield with peak.

The shield wraps round 12" wide, but it's only 7" deep (top to bottom). Is this OK - don't think they do any other size.
