I missed the start as well. ! Will wait for the presentation to come out and recap.

[John Ellis]

I am on that one tonight

[John Ellis]

Well it worked out as, Gemini Recovery on Saturday, Catseye & Bulldog recovery on the Sunday.
A good weekend of training was had, the weather was not…shall we say the best. Rain and flooding in some parts on the Sunday, but all in all a good weekend.

[John Ellis]

How many AMRO crews do we have going?

[John Ellis]

If you are buying it Ian/other NI crew, I am 90 mins from Holyhead or 20mins from Birkenhead docks if that’s of any help

[John Ellis]

Thanks to Helen, Jonathon, Ian C and Andy T for the event (food supplier/venue organiser/assessors) for a good day at Telford for the training day. The weather was good for us considering what it could have been/was the day before.

Cheers

[John Ellis]

Cheers Ralph. I see there are a few listed that may not be recovery specific as such i.e the U17MC events and M65 Blackburn services.

Have a good festive period of celebrations!

[John Ellis]

Thanks Neil.

Are there plans to try again for this training venue before the end of the year?
I imagine the site would have been a bit muddy.

[John Ellis]

I’m not sure I would want to be on standby for 24hrs even with 2 units. I am sure there are H&S requirements in there surrounding breaks etc (not just for recovery but also rescue, marshals as well etc)
Costs wise, I would start at minimum of 2 x your normal rate – in effect two days of event + accommodation if required.

Interested to know what event etc and if under MSA regs.

[John Ellis]

Have fun on the Wyedean and also at sunny Blyton.

[John Ellis]

A good weekend out rallying in the tiger van, complete with a furry co-pilot.

Got home a bit later than planned on the Sunday due to the incident on the M62.

Hope the hand has healed Jon.

cheers

Found a video on YouTube of the 110 in action, watch from 6.40 for the car we recovered (the one in the pic above)
