Visiting BC in late Sept/Oct..... looking for meets

#1 Post by LandyAndy » Thu Jun 22, 2006 12:31 pm

Hi all,

Myself & the wife will be over in BC again this year to start the works on our new house in Revelstoke. We land in Vancouver on the 29th Sept and depart on the 15th Oct.

We will be stopping in Vancouver, Revelstoke and Kelowna during our stay. Timings are still to be comfirmed but we were wondering if any group members were around for a meet and are there any group meets during our visit that we can get to.

Looking forward to being in BC soon,
Cheers,

Hi Andy,

You will be getting here right in between the Solihull Moab run & the NorthWest challenge. (see our calendar on the home page)
October is a great time for a mountain run in BC, confirm your date as we get nearer to your arrival time. I'm sure we can give you a little tour of the great outdoors before you head East.

cheers,
Andy :D

Well the time has come, the bags are packed & we fly out in the morning. Only down side is we've just received a 12mth+ delay letter from CHC London for our perm residence application that puts it back to '08. So, we desperetly need to find work in/around the Revelstoke area now.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

I'm employed as a site engineering manager for a large food factory that makes sandwiches. We produce about 2.5 million packs a week across 24/7 production. I have 18 cross trained engineers working for me that maintain all the production plant & services. My training is in Electrical/Electronic engineering although now I my main function is management on a day/day basis.

The wife is also an electrical engineer (BEng qualified) working for Bombardier rail, she has been in the railway since leavign school and completing a full apprenticeship. She is currently overseeing all the electrical schematic drawings for the London underground refurbishment project that is worth about 3.5 billion pounds.

Cheers,
Andy
