The Pittecroft Trust

A registered charity
No 294174

   A small charitable trust with a very general charitable remit.
It is exceedingly rare for the Trustees to respond to unsolicited requests for support.  

The trust has assisted over the years in a very modest way in:
            # Providing a Royal Aeronautical Society prize for quiet aircraft design
            # Contributing to the setting up of an unsegregated school in Northern Ireland
            # Converting a GLC Residual Body grant into computers for an environmental charity
            # Supporting improved access in town and countryside
            # Providing computers and computer support for various charities
            # Various small specific grants to a community Museum
            # Modest donations to charitable causes as the trustees see fit

The  Pittecroft Trust is pleased to have helped produce this Guide
 
Gaps, Gates, Stiles. A guide to the British Standard BS5709:2006
 guide last updated 25 Aug 2007
Note this is NOT the Standard itself, just a simplified guide to it
To the Guide
The trustees would be very pleased to hear suggestions for improvement of BS5709 and they undertake to pass these to the BS panel responsible for the next revision of that standard (date not fixed, but probably around 2011). An example of one already noted is a 'note', not a requirement, that diagonal bracing on a wooden kissing gate can increase stability greatly. Please email us with suggestions or any other comment.
