The Tentmasters
Guild was formed in 1992 to formalise the standing of the time honoured
profession of 'Tentmaster'.
 |
|
In an increasingly complex
and 'high tech' world, the tentmaster performs a task carried
out since the dawn of history. With the advent of new regulations, working
practices, and types of equipment, there is a real need for a cohesive
approach to the acquisition of new knowledge. In addition to this, permanently
installed fabric membranes are being used in ever greater quantities. |
The guild's aims are to help
it's members to meet these changes with advice, knowledge, and education.
The objectives of the guild are:
To provide an increased working
knowledge of the technology and working practices available to the
tentmaster.
To provide a wider understanding
of the varied and diverse sections of this field of knowledge.
To educate in terms of safe
working practices and new developments, and to promote awareness of the
guild education activities to a wider sphere.
To provide a training course
for tent masters with written, oral, and practical examinations, part of
which may involve the setting of training standards, and to monitor the
performance of tent masters.
To provide an international
repository of the accumulated experience of tent masters, to create a technical
library, and a technology database of both temporary and permanently
installed structures.
