+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) After having my arm twisted by 2 local cachers I am going to try to arrange a CITO event for the Durham area, the date we have agreed on will be Sunday April 30th on the afternoon, exact times and places will be given as soon as possible. We would do the CITO for about 2 hours and then we will have a faith supper, where everyone will bring a little bit of food and drink and put it all in the middle and we would sit down and have a natter and nibble after the event. I am going to speak to Derwentside Council tomorrow to see if there are any areas that need cleaning up, and to see if there are any rules or regulations ect we have to follow. If anyone is interested in this event please let me know. I think we would need at least 12-15 people to make this event feasible. M Edited January 16, 2006 by Us 4 and Jess Quote Link to comment
+Travers Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Who's twisted your arm? I thought you volunteered? Yep, count us in. We'll bring some cans too (though pop only ) and some wet wipes which could be useful. Quote Link to comment
+drums4monty Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Twisted arms, you can't be meaning me?!?!? I'm in Mandy (as you already know). Good luck with the council. Quote Link to comment
+woZere Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 in between night shifts but possible. Quote Link to comment
+G Force Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry Mandy, I'll be away to work on the 30th. otherwise I would be there. Quote Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sounds good to me. Count me in (provided we can go to the pub afterwards ) Quote Link to comment
+Bambi&Thumper Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 If we are about, we might be persuaded to join in and lend a hand... Bambi. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry Mandy, I'm working that weekend, but it is good to see another CITO being organised in April, here's to plenty more. Quote Link to comment
+Moote Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Mandy, maybe a Saturdays is better for people who will be travelling some distance; also as it is a CITO would this not be better as an allday event? Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 also as it is a CITO would this not be better as an allday event? I don't think so, 2 hours is long enough for people to get dirty, and you will be surprised at the amount of rubbish a group of people can collect in that time. My events clearup time, will not last any more than 2 hours hopefully? Quote Link to comment
+drums4monty Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Spoke to Ryker this morning and if he is around he will come along. Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 2 hours on a sunday afternoon with a chat and picnic to follow will do for me M Quote Link to comment

alistair_uk Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry about that, I couldn’t resist. One serious question. I notice that the forthcoming Scottish CITO day some instruction is given before hand and safety equipment (well gloves actually, but that sounds boring) is/are supplied. Is this something that will need? Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I will provide a list of what will be needed on the cache page when this event goes live alistair M Quote Link to comment

Is this something that will need? The CITO I have done, all this kit was supplied by the Landowner, as it is within their interest that nothing happens that could lead to litigation due to faulty tools etc. It is wise to get the landowner involved at the earliest possible stage; I once read a newspaper article about someone who was successfully sued by a landowner, because they tidied up part of his land without permission.

+The Northumbrian Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) 2 years ago I tried to sort out the very filthy area where my cache( Gliders view ) was (some may remember ) it was on Tynedale council land, I offered to use my truck to remove the rubbish with the help of a few othersand deposit it at Prudhoe civil amenites site with a ticket from the council, only to be told that the rubbish became the property of the land owner who's land it was dumped on. I was also informed that the organizer of the clean up is liable if anyone get injured during the clean up. cuts etc, etc and thats why they would not allow myself and others to do the work, and they would put council fully insured employees on the case. so I gave up on the idea. I was a bit miffed at the time after trying to do the community a service, so my advice to anyone doing a clear up on someone elses land should check the insurance bit out.

A phone call to keep your back safe, You're totally right, My CITO event is insured by the trusts insurance company. First aid and all cleaning equipment will also be supplied. People will be expected to sign a disclaimer saying that they understood the safety brief, but everyone involved will be insured. Luckily who I have arranged through, arrange over 30 clean ups per year. So they have everything tied up. Last years event was great, and hopefully mine and everyone else's will be good too.

Yes, I remember you trying to arrange that event. I wonder whether the landowner appreciated the rather attractive bathroom suite? I'm also curious whether the council actually did bother to clean the area up. I can't really understand why people dump such stuff - all you need to do is call the council and they take everything away for free. It's good that Mandy is trying to do everything right and checking with the council, especially regarding the insurance issue. Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 15 probables up to now i contacted derwentside councils environmental health department today and gave all the details and i am waiting for an officer to ring me back i have been pricing gloves and heavy duty bin sacks today too M Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 i have been pricing gloves and heavy duty bin sacks today too Ask them to supply this for you Mandy, you will be supplying the man power, let them put something towards it, I am getting everything I need for the day, all I have to arrange is the people to be there, and that's easy from our point of view.

+Bambi&Thumper Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Have a look at the CITO forum too - I saw something about McDonalds supplying free food/drink for people clearing up places, if you like that sort of thing There was other useful information too Bambi. Quote Link to comment

+G Force Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Not a bump but I'll be bringing at least 10 pairs of gloves with me for those that need them (not that anyone has 20 hands) courtesy of an un-named company which if they were aware of would be no problem but just too much paperwork to get the gloves on the hands. Any left over will be brought up to the Edinburgh CITO. Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) That's fab Greg.......thanks very much Just seen something about a CITO coin, as you know i am not a coin person at all, but I would not mind one of those, just because i have organised a CITO in 2006, just a keepsake for ourselves could you let me have more info about the coin, where to order it and the price ect, or could you order one for me and i will pay you next time i see you M Edited February 3, 2006 by Us 4 and Jess Quote Link to comment
