I got my copy of windowtalk through a couple of days ago and noticed the trade exhibition is going to be held in Leicester on the 24th of April. It would be great if the forum members that are going could get together for a drink and to put faces to the names Grin

Whos going Huh

I'd like to go, but cant join the fed as I dont have anyone to recommend me.

I've only lived here for 2 years, so dont have a professional bod to do me a letter, and I dont know any other members.

Anyone here want to recommend me?

Fed_Man - how about a waiver of this requirement for little old me?

Silly

Silly, I'm sure you don't need to me a member to go to the exhibition!?
Given the contribution you've made to this forum recently I'm sure there will be plenty of members, if not Fed Committee members themselves, who would recommend you.
Can I suggest you send Bryan Dolby and/or The Fed Man a private message to see what they say about the recomendation issue - there must be a way round it for you!
Regards
Mike

01614329280 and she could give you anymore info that you might need Cool

Posted by peterf (peterf), 30 December 2003

So they are, I had not even looked; I just took it for granted that they would have had the info on the site by now.

Anyway here is some info.

Place, Hanover Hotel, Leicester

Cost, I think it is free for the trade show; the Hotel costs £140.00 per double room for one night, which includes dinner dance,

Day and Time, Saturday 24th April at 9:30
Finishes around 4 if I remember right.

Posted by Majestic (Majestic), 30 December 2003

What about dwarf dancing girls, you could get twice the amount then Shocked

Posted by matt (matt), 30 December 2003

interesting thought Wink

Posted by Bones (Bones), 31 December 2003

I'm gonna try my hardest to be there Grin

Should be no probs (hopefully).

It will be pretty intresting to see people in person instead of post's.

Matt,
i'm sure when everyone's tucked up in bed we can find some dancing girls Wink

Ps. I still don't have my window talk, hint hint FED commitee Wink

Posted by The_Fed_Man (The_Fed_Man), 31 December 2003

Hi Mikey,

Sounds like you joined then, well done. The office were extremely busy before XMAS, Window Talk will arrive shortly I'm sure, if not give them a ring, it's just pressure of work I suspect.

See you at the Show, seek me out and say hello. You won't miss Terry, unless somebody steals the mic off him for a minute.

Posted by Majestic (Majestic), 31 December 2003

Matt
see if these will do

Reubin Omnipole will be there for the sixth year
and celebrating 27th year of Window Cleaning!!

Posted by traceyalbert (traceyalbert), 26 January 2004

Hi Steve,

My Name is Tracey and I work for Lema International. I would like to know more about the Trade Show in April. I have a new product that may be oif use to all window cleaners that use reverse osmosis equipment.

Can you let me know. Perhaps i will meet you there

Tracey

Posted by Reuben_Reynolds (Reuben_Reynolds), 26 January 2004

Old Master Glyn,

Its OK for you to say that you are from Omnipole, it helps for people to know that you're a supplier when they read your posts. That way readers can better understand your style of product promotion.

regards

Reuben

Posted by pdhanson (Silly Philly), 26 January 2004

What's your new bit of kit Tracey? Its ok to be general if you are waiting for a patent to go through or something.

You got me curious now!

Silly

Posted by paul (paul), 26 January 2004
