Bang On..............we Need A Central Location For Everyone So Travel Distance And Time Is Fair As Poss... I'm Not Affraid To Make Arrangements For A Location But We Need A Consensus On Where And What We Need!!!! Conference Facility Or Motorway Service Station Carpark...... Probably A Saturday Early In May? My Only Concern Is We Three Seem To Be The Only One's Talking To Each Other.

thanks for the reply,
Stump grinding in the UK is still relativly new compared to the US and the costs of setting up a professional business are high, the second hand market for stump grinders is not good so at the moment we stumpers can make a good living, Thats not to say that will always be the case but at the moment we can do rather well just doing stumps.
