The distal ends () of the two projections () or () in a given set are able to locate in adjacency of a respective one of the elongated apertures () in the flange. At least one of the distal ends of at least one the projections comprises a passage () formed thereat. The passage () has a profile configured in a similar manner to that of the flange elongated aperture () adjacent to which it can be located in use. A respective pin (A), (B) is provided for each of the projections. The pins are connected together by a bridging member (). When the passage () is located in adjacency of a respective flange aperture (), the pins (A), (B) are each able be inserted through a respective passage () aligned with a respective aperture () to secure the apparatus () to the post.
