Lost weight, Billy?
-
thats obviously Derek in his mankini. ;D
Billy's is leopard skin not green ;D
-
ARGH! I'll not get that image out of my head all day now! :o Frantic scratching of minds eye!!!!!
-
See he's got a watch on, don't ask him, "have you got the time on you cock"
What may be a good idea is to announce a date so everyone can put it in their diary then venue could follow at a later date.

-
I think you have to find the venue first Shaun otherwise a suitable place may not be available on the said date.
-
Derek has a venue.
I have seen it and it will serve the day well.
I will leave it to Derek to announce.
-
Derek has just announced the venue is McDonalds :)
-
With a free all you can eat buffet and drinks included ;D

I would not attend on principle because TACCA is not set up or run properly.
It has no elected Committee amongst member's, therefore, it is not a democratic organisation.
Once this changes I would consider joining.

You may have a point there, or should I say, you would have a point were it not for the fact that TACCA was setup by one man in his own time and expense, earning the huge respect of all but the most critical.

Andrew
Then don't attend my friend. Derek Paul and all the others give fantastic advice free of charge and no questions are too stupid to ask. Everyone swaps ideas tips and techniques and if you come away with one good idea then it's a cheap day out for a bit of effort. .. and now it's open to non members so what have you to lose? Lighten up mate!!
-
Sounds like a great day out for everyone, what has an elected committee got to do with people getting together and sharing ideas and learning something new?
I'm in....
-
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face..
-
Tony, I'm not attending.
Russ, a democratic elected Committee is the foundation and back-bone of every successful organisation. I don't like
DICTATORSHIPS!
That said, I wish everyone a good day out there :)
-
There is no such thing as DEMOCRACY!!

Or you could attend, ask for a committee, have a show of hands, then you will have your democracy, simples.
-
Fair enough... why not just take it for what it is Andrew? a nice day out :)
-
I would recommend everyone to go if even just to listen to Dave. He is so inspirational. Also it's really good crack and laugh.
-
I really am trying to get the mrs to change her mind on the holiday it's just that time of year when the tacca day is on and we go away.

I can't belive someone wouldn't attend for them reasons, you must go through life worrying about an awful lot.

Wow, who rattled your cage?
You've clearly looked into this to come up with your own conclusions.
How do you know there aren't plans to create an elected committee? or that there isn't already some form of committee already in place?
These TACCA days have already been confirmed by those who have attended to be the most imformative of any similar thing either running or previously run by other organisations.
I think you'll find the majority approve, and that's your democracy problem solved ;D
-
Looking forward to it Derek has done a great job and its great to catch up with old and new faces . We will all come away with something because we all have different ways of doing things . Just a shame it's not in guildford lol. Del
-
What one guy has pulled off at his own expense, in his own time for the benefit of so many other cleaners deserves supporting in my opinion. Last years event was brilliant, and this years looks like it wil be even better.
-
This hotel is walking distance from venue and has only 20 rooms, about a third booked now so be quick :D
TACCA day accomodation
the closest hotel is the Hartford hall. I've managed to get a 20% discount so if you ring up to book then quote TACCA123 and you'll get the discount, i know mossy, billy and ashley have booked this hotel all ready this hotel is within walking distance to the venue. there are also quite a few premier inns and travel lodges with a few miles of the venue (not sure if they do breakfast) and there is a happy guest hotel in lower whitley on the A49 that has good value for money with breakfast included. this one is around 3 miles from the venue. hope this helps.
-
Can i make a suggestion for something.
have a professional photographer in attendance who can sell his time by the half hour,
what most carpet cleaners want (but have difficulty obtaining) is professional photos for leaflets and websites, the problem is usually the cost of hiring a pro for a photo shoot, you can hire a pro photographer for £400 a day that is 16 people paying £25.
you can do headshots, a holding wand shot, a holding handtool shot ..etc,,,etc..etc
why do you think I'm on half the websites & leaflets in the UK....... no one has any professional photos of themselves
it will cost TACCA nothing and will be something usefull
-
Will look into that cheers mike. a friend of a friend has just started up so might be worth asking if he wants some practice ;)
-
no Mick your on the leaflets because your the best looking ;)
-
Yea.... I've got the best looking hands or best looking legs but have you noticed not many photos show my face :-\ :-\
-
Yea.... I've got the best looking hands or best looking legs but have you noticed not many photos show my face :-\ :-\
I've got some with your face on mike, but i have put my competitions details on!!!! Gets me loads of work!!!
;D ;D ;D
-
So who's doing the makeup and hair tips?
-
Jim Neal is the make up queen...
And I think Derek is the one for hair tips
;D ;D
-
Hotel booked... 26th - 28th
Anyone going to be travelling up from the Guildford area on the Friday? looking to share a ride and the fuel costs rather than take separate motors?
Let me know
Cheers
Russ :D
-
I think Steve Barnett is down that way Russ.

Magnum PI!! He might bring his Ferrari!

I'm actually really gutted I can't attend. I have a stag do that day/night at Haydock races, it's only 30 minutes away. I was thinking of maybe attending at 9am till around 12-1pm ish, is it worth it for that amount of time or will I miss most things?
-
So where is everyone staying

Apparently you have to tell them you're with TACCA or they'll say they're full.
-
If someone doesn't want to take advantage of what TACCA offers free of charge and any effort of their part because the guys running it are not elected then let them it's their loss, perhaps if TACCA is prepared to do a head to head demo between powerburst and white spirit mixed in water as a pre spray he may attend, but i doubt it after 27 years cleaning carpets surely there's nothing left to learn.
Anyone travelling up from Essex or the South East ?
-
;D
1 room left at the Hartford hall hotel
I've just been to our local pub and they have a single room, double room and a family room available, this pub is 200 yards from the venue. they've said they will do £5 off the room rate for us which was nice, just quote TACCA again. its the red lion in Hartford. Thats it, the rest are premier Inns and travellodges, oh and the happy guest lodge.
theres all ready a few booked at the premier inn in leftwich/davenham (about 2.4 miles from the venue) i think there doing an offer, heres what john said.........it was double room and for the 2 nights £76 + £22.99 for meal deal breakfast and evening meal so all in £121.98 which I thought was pretty good.
john
-
over the past 7 years ive done a few of these days, but its looking like this one is going to be the best.
We are into day 3 of announcing this and its still months a way so Dont Hang around if you want to stay out and meet the guys ( you learn just as much over a pint on the night and especially the secret tips ;) ) Get yourself booked out before all accomodation is gone.
Cant wait for this one :)
-
Hi Paul
Could you put me down for the TACCA Day, have just booked accommodation. The hotel is now booked.
David Ware
ps couldn't get booked at the Hartford Hall managed the Premier Inn
-
any room at the venue to park my accommadation ???
Cheers Tony
-
There must be a big field there somewhere Tony ;D
-
Was going to go to the cleaning show but decided to come to this instead. Sounds a great day out.
Just booked my flight over.
How do I buy a ticket for the day out?
Thanks
Mark

Just be careful where you park it! You know what karl is like, he might try jumping into bed with you in the middle of the night!
;D ;D ;D

Nice to see kevin has donated a cleaners mate. When will the itinery be available, I need to work out whether its worth coming for half a day.
-
derek would it be possible to pay the social club to use their car park for the night and hook up to their electric for my camper. there are sites quite close but the club would be easier .
EDIT COMMENT .... i've found somewhere to park now :)
-
not on my drive i hope ;D
-

Neil, what is it that you want to see on the day? the trainers will be repeating throughout the day so if its only say 2 things you want to see then it might be worth while. depending on how long you can stay.
reg is at 9am then all the trainers should be underway by about 10am. all in seperate parts of the building.
dinner about 12.30 then commence training and seminars again about 1.30
hope this helps
-
Where is there left to stay? Is it all inclusive because after I've spent my hard earned buying a ticket is there anymore to cash in on I would not be expected to spend anymore whilst I'm there would I?
Shaun
-
With all the talk of portables on another thread could it be arranged to view and compare some of the new 3 vac portables or even the etm from Woodbridge?
Thanks
Mark
-
Thought about that mark and all though its something i would love to see my self, i think there's enough going on now and room is getting ltd. we can save that for the next one ;)
can't take it with ya Shaun. ;) ;D
-
Tickets bought, now for the hotel.
Might just go posh to keep away from the riff raff ;D
-
Seriously Derek where is there left to stay but close.
Shaun
-
Seriously Derek where is there left to stay but close.
Shaun
Looking on the map there are 2 Premier Inns each about 1 one away from the venue, or you can join us in the posh hotel in Northwich
-
Seriously Derek where is there left to stay but close.
Shaun
Shaun seriously ;D
I think it was said about a week or so ago to get yourself booked in quick :D
I hope youve got your ticket before they have all gone too :)
-
premier inns x 2, about 2 miles from venue, few guys are staying at the leftwich one and they got meal deals as well.
or you could join neil @ £200 a night, lol oyster & champagne breakfast at the nunsmere. hey mingle with the high rollers. ;D
-
I want to see most thiings but I can only get there when it open until around 1pm. I can't book at ticket yet because I don't know what is on that morning, it may be stuff I have no interest in. The tickets will probably sell out before I know.
-
everything starts at around 10 am Neil . all at once, each trainer/marketer will be doing there own thing throughout the day.
half a day won't be long enough to see everything.
-
Shame, cheers for letting me know. I'll definitely be attending next year.
-
I'm down on the NuLife Stonecare course on the Thursday and Friday of next week, may just add an extra night on and go to the TACCA day on the Saturday, just looked at the Premier Inns, which one are people stopping at? Northwich south or Northwich Sandiway?
-
Anyone going to the TACCA day and live near Grimston Norfolk?
I've bought a machine on eBay, it's pick up only and rather than drive to Grimston is thier anyone who would pick it up for me.
I will make it worth your while!! I'll give you 2 airmovers, or a lint hog inline filter (either 2 inch or 2.5inch fitting)
Or £50
It's this....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Advance-carpet-tron-foam-carpet-cleaning-machine-/300887740758?ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSA%3AGB%3A3160&nma=true&si=sC7PVqP8058bgYkENqYduho%252BmMo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
-
I used to own one of those. Amazing machine. Unfortunately Advance became part of Nilfisk and in true fashion they discontinued it! The SH120T foamer was great for stairs.
-
Or if some body picks it up and brings it to me instead of Mike then i will give them 60 quid ;)
-
What does it do? Looks as if it was born in the 80's.
-
That machine will encap or dry foam 100 restaurant chairs in an hour. then vac off and there ready to use. paid for itself in one go.
-
How?
-
it can be described as a hand held orbot. or not, could be wrong.
-
I remember wanting one of those but they were £3k in 1990 I just could justify buying it at the time and stuck with my Cimex, I saw this on eBay it's been around it a few times but I didn't fancy driving down to Norfolk and bumping into Denis.
Shaun
-
Dave Washbrook had one for sale a while a go, but i dont know if he sold it.
-
Drove down this Afternoon to pick it up, it does look an interesting bit of kit, just need a big open area to try it out on.
Hoping to use it as an Encap machine
-
Paul are you bringing you rotary with foaming machineso you can try when Jamie does his encap demo? Mike could bring his new machine it would be good to compare as your sonic spot remover
Shaun
-

It's more suited to Axminster/wiltons than CGD. Great machine.
Nilfisk still make the wide area vac version.
-
Well I turned it on and it nearly ran me over :o :o
the brush was set too low so dug into the carpet, the vacuum version of this must be a nice machine on open areas as the pile lifting ability of the brush is very impressive.
Can't work out how it puts down the solution, it looks like it blows air into the tank to create a foam, filled it with just water and nothing happened, the tank was bubbling but none was being ejected onto the brush.
Might try and find a manual on the web.
The brush is good, even if the main machine is a dud I can adapt the brush as a stand alone tool

You going down the encap route Mike, ?
I didnt think you was keen on encapping !!
tks for that suite you passed on in anlaby yesterday Mike, I fitted it yesterday late afternoon, nice big curry stain :) but did manage to improve dramaticly, well certainly they were happy.
Geoff
-
Shaun, i will bring the foaming machine down so Jamie can fit it to a rotary and have a play with it. And yes i will bringthe ultra sonic gun
-
Good one Paul, it'll be good to show people these items that aren't 'the norm'
Mike if memory serves me it works on compressed air foaming the shampoo and putting it onto the brushes keeping the moisture really low but there was a handle to adjust the flow.
Shaun
-
Think im gonna have to split my day up abit and with leather and other stuff
-
It could be a good idea that there's so much to learn and teach, something for everyone then.
Shaun
-
Its the big count down, only 7 more sleeps to go. ;D if your still thinking about attending then you really need to think quickly as ticket sales will stop on wednesday due to knowing catering numbers, please don't get caught out, buy your tickets now and join the 100 carpet cleaners who are all ready attending, gonna be a great day. and don't forget your raffle tickets.
-
Where do I pick my prizes up from?
Shaun
-
just bought my raffle tickets. really need to win that...................... actually, i better not say cos if i win it then everyone will say its a fix. saying that, if i win any prize they'll say its a fix. :'(
shaun most of the prizes will be at the event, if not they will be posted out by the supplier and for those not attending, TACCA will post out the prizes or we may get someone who has attended to take the prize to you if they live close. with the winners agreement that is.
anyone know how to stream live video via a weak internet connection? ;D
-
Ask Dave L, he will know how
-
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Shaun
-
Shaun, i will bring the foaming machine down so Jamie can fit it to a rotary and have a play with it. And yes i will bringthe ultra sonic gun
Nilfisk have sent the new one for the day which I will be bringing on their FM400 rotary. It's essentially the same as your one but indifferent colours.
-
At last, they have taken for ever to get that out. I wont bring mine now cos im short of space and as you are just bringing a few things then you should pack it in easy ;D
-
This is Billys new assistant that he is bringing on the tacca day.

Only 100 carpet cleaner's attending out of how many in the UK? Is it indicative of the lack of interest in this event?
I have to say 100 is not very many spaced out throughout the day... I hope you all have a good time though!
-
Oh look, another hater.......yawn!
-
Its not about quantity... its about quality.. ;D
-
i personally think 100 is a fantastic turn out for a carpet cleaning event but then i might be a bit bias ;D

Not to forget that their all paying £55 each as well, I cant think of another carpet cleaning industry event that charges that amount and has attracted that many people, can anybody else?

Perhaps there'd be more if TACCA was run as a democracy, right?
-
I think the ncca events over the past 2 years only had about 50 people attend and that was free. So well done Derek for getting 100 plus people there.
-
I'm not staying the Saturday night at the Hartford hall pub if someone wants it
-
When you think how far some people are travelling and the state of the economy I think 100 is absolutely fantastic but if you can do better then get organising.
-
100 is a fantastic turnout. great day for learning and to have a good chin wag with other loke minded people. Plus you get to take the p out of billy russel wouldnt miss it for the world
-
104 now ;D
just to remind everyone, wednesday is last orders, tickets will not be available after wednesday. sorry.
-
Wow, 104, well done Sir!
Now, that's a gross income of £5,720 [to date] (@£55 per ticket) and before I buy mine ::)roll could you please tell me if this is a non profit event, (as I have read) will we see a full break down of costs on here (or the TACCA website) and where will any profit/surplus be going?
Thank you.
-
Why should that matter to you?
For £55.00 you would get a day of training on subjects that most courses do not teach. You would get tips that they would not tell you, from people who have the experience and are willing to pass it on. You would get fed at lunch and the evening.
Who gives a flying toss if there is any profit from it? If the guys doing the training (informal or not) get some money for giving their time, then I think that is a good thing.
Don't forget there are overheads including hiring the building etc.
Take it for what it is.... An informal training day for less than the cost of a job...
Lighten up... ;D ;D

You coming?

Can anyone get me a price on a 1000+ page website please, oh with ongoing SEO thrown in and social media advertising blogs etc..., full hosting for 2 years and every time someone has a problem like logging in or other problems with passwords etc, i can have tech help within 12 hours. just a ball park figure would do.

So, you intend on 'pocketing' the surplus? Ok, just wondered....
-
What Derek has done over the past few years to get this off the ground has to be admired. Profits from the day (which won't be much) he is very welcome to it..... a very small payback for the amount of investment he has put in to date.
If you can do better than you are more than welcome to try.

Well said paul, I've been saying that for ages, I know how much Derek has put into all of this with no return for himself, I said he should take out what he's put in, but I also know full well that he won't do that, ANY surplus, I know he will reinvest in to tacca to make it bigger and better!
-
Why are you so bothered, you're not going so your money isn't going where you don't want it to. If everyone who has bought a ticket feels they had great value for money (which i'm sure they will) and isn't bothered where the ticket money goes then why is that your issue?
-

I thought admin had stopped secret membership on here?
Or are you just re-incarnated from the last person with similar 'posts.'

is anyone going from the Southampton/Portsmouth area . i'm going Friday and coming back Saturday night if anyone wants to share fuel/transport

What has Dan ever done to you Creighters ??
:o :o
;D

Although I can't abuse my position I do know who this is from the IP address but cleaning solutions has done nothing wrong yet.

Oh go on Shaun....
there is no adrenalin rush like the one you get abusing power and position ;D ;D ;D
You know it makes sense ;D ;D
-
Creighton is on a crusade against car-sharing. F*ck the planet!
-
;D ;D ;D
Not going this time Ash... other commitments.. Have a chat with Dan... fellow hypnotist. ;D ;D
-
I will be leaving on FRIDAY and returning on SUNDAY
I live near ALDERSHOT space for one, please let me know ASAP!!
-
Ash you wait till you see my new wheels i really am doing something for the planet ps one space left in the vehicle travelling up on fri avo back sun morning all the way from devon can stop anywhere on m5
-
wtf have I done then creighton ??????
-
i think its obvious that creighton has quoted the wrong post thats all,
-
Looking at the nasty posts above, it looks like you must be doing something right Derek.
Also 1,000 page site etc... probably near enough to your 5K.
-
I would like to attend the day as a new member. It looks good. Shame I cant make it this time.
I would also like to have access to the TACCA site, Is there any progress on that yet Derek.
-
dan sorry mate , it was the post above yours I meant to quote . I will buy you a pint by way of an apology this weekend.
ash I am van sharing so I am doing my bit for the planet too.

So, you intend on 'pocketing' the surplus? Ok, just wondered....
I thought admin had stopped secret membership on here?
Or are you just re-incarnated from the last person with similar 'posts.'
If you ignore his posts then he will soon get fed up when he realises no one wants to play with him.
Dan that's what I meant to quote once again sorry mate.

I'm more of a Swans man - but glad that City finally made promotion. Drinking rounds with me would end with me having my stomach pumped after about 6 shandies!
I'm all for the sheep though! ;D

Think Creighton thinks you are going to be the sheep ;)

I would like to attend the day as a new member. It looks good. Shame I cant make it this time.
I would also like to have access to the TACCA site, Is there any progress on that yet Derek.
You have mail Robin. sorry for the delay, bin busy. :)
quick update, all the food, buffet dinner and hog roast supper has been sorted. plus tea's and coffee's throughout the day and morning biscwits.
and according to the profit and loss figures above, cost F**K all......... result. ;D
Raffle prize fund is up to £750 with hopefully loads more to come on the day.
Again i can't thank CIU and truckmounters enough for letting us promote the raffle.
last chance to buy tickets today and tomorrow as i have to ring in the numbers to the caterers. Really looking forward to this. Fingers crossed it runs smoothly and most importantly everybody gets something out of it.
4 more sleeps. :o ;D

If there was time to pick up one of these ... a 63mm with back port should fit right up against a hose barb as it is .

alternatively ... if you had this version with the connection on the bottom .... if it was screwed into a plastic hose connector , and the connector was put inline near the wand after 100ft hose .... if you then clean a bit of carpet it might tell how the machine is maintaining lift under real cleaning.
