Robert Grimmet and Seonaid Bell of Topuni Timber, Wellsford tied the knot on Saturday 5 March at a delightful wedding held at their home in the hills.
Robert, the owner of Topuni, built a beautiful little chapel in his garden where the ceremony took place. The rain could not dampen the festive atmosphere for the 80 odd friends and family.
The bride was stunning in a full length gown. Both Robert and Seonaid’s two daughters took part as bridesmaids, as did Robert’s son Daniel who was best man. The bridegroom and best man were turned out in smart creamy jackets with blue shirts and black pants.
A wonderful reception was held at the Kaiwaka Sports Centre.
Congratulations to Robert and Seonaid from all their friends at TimTech!

The premier mountain bike event is in its 26th year. Pictured is Neil climbing the “Devils Staircase”. Not to be put off by a rather nasty fall, Neil is already setting his sights on attempting it again in 2012 but with a goal of under 3.5 hours. |

New “True Blue” Treatment Process Passes All Tests at Brisbane Plant
|
|
|
|
|
A low cost, high output option for H2F treating
|
 |
|
|
A REVOLTIONARY low-cost timber preservation process has exceeded all expectations following commissioning of the first “True Blue” plant at the iTreat Timber custom-treatment facility at Narangba, north of Brisbane.
The “True Blue” treatment plant provides a new low-cost, high-output method perfect for H2F framing treatment. The principal of iTreat Timber Pty Ltd Gerry Gardiner said the new plant, averaging 2.5-3 m3 per charge, was working well in a two-shift tandem with a CCA plant at the Narangba site. TimTech Australia sales manager Ian Clarke said the new technology allowed for extremely rapid filling and emptying as well as a system which gave total timber coverage in seconds.“
A typical treatment cycle is less than 10 minutes,” he said. “The system has a number of major advantages over traditional Bifenthrin spray systems, including a highly competitive treatment cost per cubic metre.
”The “True Blue” technology can be supplied either as a purpose-built plant designed to meet a customer’s individual needs, or an existing plant can be refurbished and redesigned to convert it to the new system. Mr. Clark said the “True Blue” plant at Narangba was in fact a converted and refurbished LOSP plant.“Currently plans are being finalised to convert a number of conventional timber treatment plants to the new system.
Conversions to a fully automated plant can be done in as little as three to four weeks, depending on location and the condition of the plant.”TimTech reports unprecedented interest in the new technology and says plans for several more “True Blue” plants are on the drawing board.
