President Peter's Message
Guest Speaker Jon Bird. Safety and Risk Advisor for Alpine Energy.
Members enjoyed an excellent evening listening to Jon's various exploits which included Alpine Energy's community budget, working at R.A F Cosford in the UK which has a special room reserved for Her Majesty the Queen. After the excitement of working with the Saudi Arabian Air Force during the first Gulf War he decided to move to the quiet of New Zealand. He also spoke about Alpine Energy's biggest safety problem which are cars, trucks and tractors colliding with power poles. He very kindly told us that a head on collision was the safest option! The many questions he took during and after the meeting attested to his popularity.
