John Senior

So soon after the passing of our former Chairman, it is with great sadness that we have to report the sudden death of our member John Senior on the 12^th October.

John was a member of our Panel for some four years during which time he made a valuable contribution to a number of cases.

He will be sorely missed by all of us and our sympathy and condolences go to his wife Nancy and his family.

Frank Tindall

It is with great sadness that we report the death of our former Chairman Frank Tindall on the 13^th September. Frank was our chairman from the formation of the Panel in 2001 until this year.

It was due in large measure to his unstinted generosity with both his time and the resources he extended to our members that our Panel achieved the progress it has made in the eight years of its existence.

In addition to his contribution to Remap and his many other interests, Frank was also a highly respected authority on apline plants and was elected President of the Alpine Garden Society in 2006.

Leeds & Bradford Panel were once again in the awards at this year's National AGM held at the Imperial War Museum - Duxford.

The award was  presented by our Vice President Professor Heinz Wolff.

The eyedropper was devised for a client who had to insert  drops every few hours but due to problems with his hands and fingers, even squeezing the normal dispensing capsule caused extreme pain.

The principle of the eyedropper is a screw plunger driven by a small geared electric motor to compress the dispensing capsule.

The motor can be 'pulsed' to control build up of each drop and the drop is visible as it forms to ensure the correct amount.

When sufficient drops are produced, the motor is reversed back to the open position. 

2009 Harrogate Model Engineering Exhibition    

Remap was represented at the Harrogate Model Engineering Exhibition held at the Yorkshire Showground in May.

The stand was organised by the Harrogate Panel with staffing assistance from other Panels in the region .

“Awards for All” Lottery Grant

We are pleased to announce that five Remap Panels in the Northern Region have received an ‘Awards for All’ lottery grant towards five laptops and digital projectors. 

The primary purpose of the equipment is to raise the profile of Remap with presentations to increase general awareness of our services and also bring in more recruits.

It is hoped to add a database of Remap products in the near future which will greatly facility access to the fund of information on solutions to the many diverse problems encountered by Remap.

A New Remap Panel with a difference! 

As you will have seen in the latest National Newsletter, Remap now has a ‘virtual’ Panel. The intended activities of the new Panel are fully outlined on it’s own website and the link to that is Remap -Internet.
