Maybe some basic carpet re-fitting for removing and replacing underlay and re-stretching skills...

I'm still surprised that 35 people have taken the trouble to vote no, without any reasons why.

The organisers could learn as much from why people wouldn't attend - it can't be because they have got something on that day as no date has been set yet and would be at least 6 months away.

[Steve Gunn]

I voted no because the last one I attended was not very good in once you seen Dave powerwash a rug you have seen it,on the first one people went to see Paul Moss's leather cleaning/restoration which did not take place last time.If I was looking at say alltecs new portable they had on show I would want their full attention so I would visit them personally rather than get a quick 20 minute talk on their machine.The idea of launching clean which also divided people within the industry did not help the cause

The night before the main event is the best part of the whole event networking,informal chit chat with everyone.People want to know how to save money not spend it on tickets and travel they want it on their doorstep too. 

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

Fair points Steve  - I must admit, my favourite part is the night before, plus I am usually too hungover the next day to fully appreciate it.

If I'm honest, I didn't enjoy last years as much, as it seemed everyone was stuck in a classroom all day listening to talks.

To put it into perspective , the annual Chem Dry convention was held 2 weeks ago in Manchester , over 500 attended , the cost for a couple was £800 inc hotel , not including travel.

They spend 000's just on professional speakers ,and fly over people from the states . Every year all the franchissees I know pay with pleasure for this as it is a great investment.

CCDO is not such a glamorous or flashy event, however it is an absolute relative bargain to the Chem dry event.

me and 3 in

[richy27]

i have never been and would like to go if there is another the problem i have had in the past was the time of year as it has clashed with other things if it was in feb i would attend

[wynne jones]

It sounds a good idea although looks like it takes a hell of a lot of organising and costs.

Would it not be possible to have something where just a bunch of carpet cleaners turn up, bring a picknick and natter about CC and show off your vans?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

A bit like a Sunny day out?

No structure just a 'who's got the biggest TM' I like it sounds unique!

It got boring and everyone ped off by noon as the only thing good was a chin wag for an hour or so, no point of coming from all over the country and having a 60 min chat.
