I now have an updated email for NCCA Towers, so I've posted the whole thing again below:
I have reproduced below an email sent out to all NCCA Members with just a slight edit to suit the needs of a forum. The event is open to all interested parties, whether members or not, but only NCCA Members can attend the AGM. As is normal, the price quoted below is the discounted rate for Members. Non Members will not receive the discount.
All of the seminars are focused on business development, not just in one-off cleans, but maintenance systems and marketing too. And don't presume that the presentation by a Franchisor will have little value to independents. I am privy to what's in store, and I think that you'll find it very, very interesting. I can't say more, my lips are sealed
Hope to see you all there
NCCA AGM 2007
For the second year running the Annual General Meeting of the National Carpet Cleaners Association will be held at the Leicester Racecourse, a venue that has previously proved to be both popular and successful. The event will be running on Friday 26th October 2007.
The AGM will follow the equally successful Technical Roadshow format throughout an action packed day. This year's sponsors will be Hydro Dynamix Ltd, CMS Ltd (Envirodri Division) and Chemspec Europe. The day's events will again include specific technical seminars presented by each of the sponsoring Associate members plus other NCCA and industry representatives.
For many members, trading during the extraordinarily wet summer has been difficult. However, for those well skilled in the “science” of marketing have tended to perform better. In view of the problems encountered by some, we have invited guest speaker Brian James to inform and enthuse us about some of the marketing techniques and skills we need to succeed. As a bonus, Brian has donated ten copies of his book “Don’t Work For Your Business, Make Your Business Work For You”. These books will be free to ten lucky winners!

We expect there to be a wide range of products and services on display from across the entire industry. A buffet lunch is included and refreshments will be available throughout the event.
The cost of entry in to the event will be £35.00 + VAT for NCCA Members and £45.00 + VAT for any non-members. The cost will include entrance to all the seminars, the trade show, lunch and refreshments. Parking at the venue is free.
The Annual General Meeting, which will be open to all members of the NCCA, will allow an opportunity for members to update themselves on the progress of the Association during the past year, a chance to air views and be involved in the various proposals and decisions for the future of the association.
