As reported at the AGM we, along with other Friends Groups were offered free training in chemical handling, chainsawing, 4wheel driving and first aid . We saw this as an excellent way to make our working bees more effective. Unfortunately so did all the other friends groups. PV had totally underestimated the interest. So we did get funding for first aid and chemical handling – dates yet to be announced. But chainsaw accreditation and 4 wheel driving (which would allow us to drive a PV vehicle and trailer) will have to be applied for again next year.
