Perhaps stage it at some large hotel with plenty of parking - for vans, and those that have travelled far can book in for the night.

I yhink we would be up for it

Trouble is we could of organised to meet at Windex, but it got cancelled, where would be then ?

Left without a venue.

Personally, i think abandoning the FWC only show, was a big mistake, its not all about the profit etc, these things can be done cheap.

It should be window cleaners first, suppliers second, after all its OUR trade, not the suppliers.

but alas, you have let them all pull the strings as usual.

The FWC never made any profit with trade shows always in the red

My opinion is windex is  better and do not think it will be postponed second time
It might be better having late in year?more money to spend

Gardeniers might even exibit ,would love to see them at windex
I bet if he hired ten big lorries and filled them up with his equipment there would be nothing to bring home?

I will have to admit,been using gardeniers poles for QCF training impact 43
Will be investing in the futer when my poles have gone

Mabye go camping for the weekend in the midlands
Tents /  caravans welcome do not need big commercial site

Isn't there a showground at Newark where they have huge caravan rallies-probably equipped for anyone needing electric hook up for caravans,motorhomes(or like me in our mahoosive tent!!  ;D) they would probably have a bar,toilet facilities for large numbers , hard standing for vehicles : probably more details thru camping/caravan club?and it's fairly central too

Hi All

I have a large yard in watford, pub in walking distance, nice area of grass for people wanting to camp, few local B&B's and Hotels, Premier Inn Kings Langley.

We could have a summer BBQ for any interested, 5mins from junction 20 of the M25 and 5 mins from junction 8 of M1

If people where prepaired to pay a small fee could cover a toilet and shower trailer for ones camping and then the food for the BBQ

Sure we could get some suppliers to get involved and help with covering costs 

Let me know what you think, could not do last two weeks in July or first two in August as away.

 dont bother with the toilets we will all sh-t all over your yard and grass then you can take pictures of the before and after of the clean up you have to carry out we promise not to charge if you use these pictures for future advertising  ;D ;D ;D Seriously that sounds quite a good idea as long as we dont let Tosh do any of the BBQing or the consequences may be beyond any clean up operations
