Wasn't she on the last series of "The Apprentice"?

Maybe Baby Einstein will make a special guest appearance with the RugBadger!

Attached is a pic of a rug that had just being cleaned the day before with a truckmount.

This 'Freshly Cleaned rug" was laid upside down and Badgered for only 6 seconds.

« **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:23:42 am »

The reason I am not taking any money just yet is I need to speak to the club again, as an issue has been raised.

Unless I can iron (excuse the pun) this out a new date may have to be arranged , stay tuned.

Martin you better explain about the numbers, how would you be bringing 30 ? are they carpet cleaners ?

I would need to know how many urgently as enquiries are coming thick and fast.

« **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:06:48 pm »

im hoping to make it

« **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2007, 09:01:53 am »

As Bedford is easy to get to and hopefully will not keep going round in squares like Milton Keynes I would like to come. If there are any places left.

Hopefully it will count as a Continuing Education Credit aswell.

« **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2007, 03:58:43 pm »

Sorry Mate,
Only a leg pull about bringing 30 people, I would like to put my name down but I might have another carpet cleaner who is interested. How many places is there overall.
Regards, Martin.

« **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2007, 05:38:51 pm »

Can you count me in for the Sunny Day Out, on July 19th.

I understand the day may yet change.

Let me know how you will want to be paid.

« **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2007, 07:04:08 pm »

Hi Ray, will contact you when date confirmed , look forward to meeting you

Keith Nicolson will be attending as well.

Martin, there was me thinking I was gonner have to get a big venue

There are 44 places ,26 have been reserved already . those that have registered an interest on here such as yourself ( and those that have rang me direct) will get priority for tickets when I have to start collecting the money in

It will be money upfront, there is no turning up on the day I am afraid. I have to adhere to stricy health & safety guidlines laid down by the club on numbers.

« **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2007, 09:36:29 pm »

I'd love to come but it's the Wifes birthday and our Wedding Anniversary all on the same day (did it that way so I only had to remember 1 present) so I would get linched if I were to go, I'll be missing a treat

Im glad you have posted the event on this site as each time I have tried to answer your posting on the Clean talk site my entries have either been deleted or witheld until reviewed by a Moderator?

« **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2007, 08:10:22 pm »

I would also like to come and meet you lot (the geek collective as my wife describes us) as there seems to be some amusing characters knocking about. I have some questions though. Aside from gaining invaluable experience from my peers, learning new ideas, discussing products on the market and networking generally do I get to get pis%&£d with a load of blokes, sorry, people (one for the ladies) and go home to tell my wife that it was a very productive time away from home so not earning money and not helping out with the kids was well worth it.

Hi Chaps

Been negotiating prices for a group booking on hotels close to the event and have come up with two that sound promising both at the same rate of £55.00 including breakfast (usual price £71.00 & £75.00)

One is a hotel but is further away the other is a village pub/hotel very close to the event.

The hotel is in a very interesting position directly opposite the 'Pink Punters' gay,lesbian,transgender bar and night club

The other in a more sedate village setting (I know the owners,very nice with decent beer and a great restaurant and before you ask no I am not getting any commission :

) It has 16 rooms some are doubles that will be at the same price so if some want to share and cut costs that will be fine.It would be great if we could take up all 16.

If this is the preferred choice (and if its not I and others would want to know why you chose the other

) I will need at least ten bookings to get the deal (on both) so I need to know how many intend staying over asap.

Remember you can e-mail me on: woburnis@aol.com

« **Reply #46 on:** June 12, 2007, 06:03:46 pm »

Count me in Trevor for an overnight stay, put me in the same Hotel as Clive & Dave!

I guess it's Pink Punters for me then.

Phil

ps can you confirm the exact date, is it 02.09.2007

« **Reply #47 on:** June 12, 2007, 06:18:46 pm »

phil, hope billy doesn't read your last post, you might live to regret it!!!

« **Reply #48 on:** June 12, 2007, 06:25:16 pm »

Do you know I was thinking exactly the same thing when I posted it.

To be honest I would much prefer the village Hotel, but I just know Clive & Dave will opt for the other one.

« **Reply #51 on:** June 12, 2007, 09:01:08 pm »

P.S are we all in the same room Phil

« **Reply #52 on:** June 12, 2007, 09:07:49 pm »

Second thought though Phil I might feel safer in the Pub! seeing as I'll be spending the night with you and the Italian stallion.

« **Reply #53 on:** June 13, 2007, 07:32:36 am »

OK,

10 rooms are pre booked already

I will post details later, on how to make contact with the hotel, reference to give for discount etc for all those that have requested a room so far.

For those of you that have not expressed an interest please do so asap as only 6 rooms remain.
