Chris Kitcher & the T/S

[Paul.M]

I've been talking to Chris Kitcher (author of electrical education books btw) via PM and today by phone. He is willing to support the Trainee Section and will get his publishers to send me a couple of his books to give away as prizes!

Once I have received proof of ID, Admin will grant him Mentor access to the TS. Ok he has only just become a member and only has a few posts, but a man of this caliber in the TS would be great. All I ask is that you dont rip him to bits please gents lol. If he is willing to give us free books for competitions I think we should play nice with him, well, in the TS anyway.

Just giving you guys a heads up instead of just seeing a Mentor with a hand full of posts popping up (once proof is received). Thoughts and opinions gents?

I think it's a brilliant idea.

 

[telectrix]

i'll second that ^^^^^.

 

[Paul.M]

Just been chatting with him again, Mrs M says we were talking like best buds lol. What a rally nice bloke. Says he does not have much spare time on his hands but he will pop in every now and again. He will tell his publishers to send me some books tomorrow and he is also going to send me his latest book which is out in December, I offered to proof read it for him pmsl :rofl:

This has really made my day

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Awesome!

He can only be an asset but don't rip him one?We'll try to be good
I'm pretty sure he'd be able to tie a hell of a lot of us up in very small, very tight knots on his own so I doubt there'll be much to worry about Paul

 

[davesparks]

He was the course tutor when I did the 238x (can't remember the number) course.
Definately an asset to the TS

 

[Pete999]

Great idea

Dont think he is that type of person. Very humble about the mistakes in his books and explained the reasons why to me. I have offered the help from forum members to proof read his books before publication btw, lets see how that may turn out???

I really hope he becomes an active member of the TS and the PV lounge, he is an inspector for NIC and also has written books on the subject. He may only pop up a few times a year but we will see.

Thanks for your support gents, a week of PM's and a few phone calls has paid off. Cross fingers that he gets involved and posts up every few weeks????

Well done, I hope the trainees know how lucky they are.

 

[Paul.M]

They dont know yet. I'll post up a sticky later today.

 

[shanky887614]

ill have to pick a couple of his books up, i wouldnt mind some more references in electrical theory

sounds like he will be a great asset

Cant see anyone " ripping into him" regardless of how many posts he has, its all about quality not quantity and the fact the trainee section remains respectful to everyone in there.

I'll start a thread about CU/DB stickers at 11pm and log off 5 minuets later. That should keep you entertained? Enjoy your evening out mate.
