ELECTRIFYING SKILLS ON DISPLAY
Last month two local charities in Derbyshire were presented with cheques for £2,000 by Derby and Burton upon Trent ECA branch chairman Nigel Bonner on behalf of all the members. These charity funds were generated by members and guests at the successful annual dinner dance in January. Members considered suggestions from branch members on supporting local charities and voted to donate the funds to the Treats Children’s Charity and the Alzheimer’s Society (Derbyshire). Vicky Ashton and colleagues received the cheque for the Treats Children’s Charity and Jacqui Marsh for the Alzheimer’s Society.
Jonathan Davies, of ECA member firm Lloyd Morris Electrical, has won the Welsh final of SkillELECTRIC after a challenging practical event at Yale College, Wrexham. Jonathan, a student at Coleg Menai, beat eight other competitors to win first place in a task that involved the installation of several circuits with various components and equipment. Judges awarded Jonathan the most points against strict assessment criteria, including health and safety, accuracy, function, wiring and termination, quality and testing.
