NS - Guenter Santjer: Sent electronically. Received January report from John Mc Eachen SO/NS. According to him, there is a deadline of 15 June for all Paton inspections and 31 August for Bridge inspections. He also is planning to hold a seminar for all AVs. I am not sure, if that seminar also will qualify members, who want to join the program. More on that as I receive information on it. Some of our AVs, who haven t done any inspections in 2010, might loose their certification. As of the last auxdata printout ( 01/22/11) they are still shown as qualified. An update on that will be passed on, as soon as I see the next printout. 1 P a g e
