Hi everyone
I really did'nt want to have to bring this up but it seems unnavoidable.
There has been alot of division amongst CCs in the last few Months and it appears to be having a negative affect on our efforts for this years CCDO and to a certain degree, the industry in genjeral. I realise there are those that want it to do badly and these people are pro-actively trying to stop people attending whether that be by direct subtle persuasion or by simply making negative and untrue comments on forums.
This year has the best line up ever and therefore really shoud'nt be missed.
I think it's important to remember that alot of hard work has gone into this years event as well as some significant personal cost to a few of us. This has been done with John's family in mind.
So all I am asking is that everyone put aside personal views of C.L.E.A.N, me and/or anyone else involved and get behind something that we can be proud of. I will be inviting John's wife to the event and hope to be able present her a significant sum of money that has been raised from us and in memory of John. It's not even the money thats the real issue, it's about letting Johns family know how much he was thought of by his colleagues.
And please, I beg of you, don't allow this thread to become a target for more insult throwing, it is written with the best of intent.

Wish you well Pete, in support of such a noble cause, it shows there
is a real underlyiing sense of community care for our brothers in cleaning.
After all we are all trying to put a crust on the table, their is no need
for all this recent bickering.

Its a shame its so far "up North" Could we have an event around Birmingham, sometime? Its more central.

Stoke is 30 min or so from Birmingham, just a few junctions up the M6

Hi Westy
First session will kick off at 9am but venue will be open from 8.30am.
The evening before is much of a get there when you do, sit down, relax, listen to, Dave L putting the CC world to rights, Roger (The Doc) tell some great stories, Jason Hedges drinking with a direct straw feed to his stomach, me going on about listening skills, Doug H trying (but failling) not to sound like an intelligent "Essex Boy" scientist, Steve Barnett just being a "geezer" and Ricky trying to keep your attn from his turquiose Crocs ;D
Oh, and if you fancy a civilised Ceeegar, you could jump into Tony G's Winnebago (although I don't know is he's coming this year).

Thanks Pete, wheres the night before take place? and which hotel/b & b do the majority stay at?, wouldnt mind attending on the Sat night for a few beers etc.
-
Pete next year 2 weeks earlier would be good county golf season wont of started. would love to be there but to commited but am sure everyone will have a very good day.
-
I've got a seat in the Combo if anyone from the Kernow area needs a lift..... :)
-
We are getting more enquiries for natural stone cleaning,
would have been worth going for that alone, as the guy is very
knowledgable am told.
Unfortunately wife is due to give birth and expects me to be with her :o
Suppose i am to blame too..

Pete,
Maybe next year if you were to obtain backing from the charity Shelter they could provide transport for carpet cleaners around the country to the venue.
It would be nice to see everyone on this forum having a warm meal together and bed for the evening.
I for one would be happy to donate blankets and bread rolls. Let me know.

Has someone been on a Sunday session? ::)

Hi Guys
For my part I am going to chat about stain removal and try todo some demonstrations, always difficult to get experiments to work when you want them to.
The last couple of years I have done a talk but thought this year it would be better to be more hands on.
Going to cover, solvents, bleaches, enzymes, colloids, odour removal.
Cheers
Doug

If you can do a stain removal excersie on urine removal from wool carpets that would be great. I have real trouble with this sort of staining.
Cheers

Neil with all the lads going out on the lash the night before i cant see it being a problem ;D ;D

Have seen this happen before and what you get are a few idiots constantly posting bad comments and sure enough you will get a load of sheep who have never had any contact with the victims joining in and on it goes.
The time i saw it eventually resulted in the company going bust and a few livelyhoods of the employers and employees almost ruined!
Like said people should make their own minds up but more often than not they seem incapable!
