Vaughan at the club has come back to me today so we are moving things along a bit
Just discussing the fire safety requirements and then should be good to progress.
I have only found one company who will treat a flag that's not their own at the moment. Quote of Ł3.25/sq meter so we are talking about Ł1000. this lasts for five years so would of course be a rolling cost.
Once Vaughan lets me know the score i will try the original manufacturer again as they didn't reply to my email - didn't bother chasing as need to know the clubs position first of all
as always will keep you updated - apologies its not moved along as far as we'd hope!
UPDATE - Vaughan back in touch and has given me the fire safety standard details it needs (BS 5867-2:2008 if anyone is interested!) and has also given me a company name who he knows frank uses for the other surfer so that was pretty helpful
I will contact them, get a quote, come back to you all. If we think the price is doable i will go from there. Vaughan has asked to see it so will pop it down to him if all the other bits fall into place
Second update - apologies for another update but i've had another exchange with Vaughan - we will be ok to store the flag at the ground once its all sorted. dont know what format that takes or indeed where but at least it means it will be accessible for a few people to help out and gets me out of trouble with the wife for having it in the garage
You can ignore that quote above as I have had a better one from this other company. To be fair i forgot to ask if it needs doing annually but the cost makes it immaterial anyway. We can get it washed, treated, certified and returned to me for..............Ł60
I will get the flag to the company and sorted and then will make arrangements to meet Vaughan and get the flag signed off as it were
Everyone ok with that as a plan?
