I would love to know why there are so many no's. Is it the £35 ticket price, the time of year (April), the location (Midlands), the content or for any other reason. Pete posted this on behalf of both of us to gain feedback as to whether it was worth putting time and effort into doing one again next year.

I posted yes but if anything did put me off it would be the distance.
And I know its the same for alot of others, alot probably travel longer than me, hence the central location but I don't like any kind of distance driving.
I like the idea posted by someone else, i.e. a North & South CCDO but I can see how that would'nt be feasible.
Think the journey would easier if you could share the driving or at least travelled with someone....might let the train take the strain.

must admit i dont like the travelling dont really want to go further than the midlands. the venue at wolverhampton was very good just the right size but must admit i hated the venue at stoke but the hotel there was good.

Ive been carpet cleaning for 25 years now but I know that I will learn something new or 'how to do it better' on the day, so count me in.
Also my son, who now works with me, so thats 2 more for the list.

[colin thomas]

shaun, why ask where ians daughter lives, not thinking of paying a visit are you!!

 

[derek west]

could do with a complete bonnetting demo there.
think i need one.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Colin honestly!!

Jason you found thousands of ££ pounds at the bottom of Sheffield hills where it went flat in the floods.

Meersbrook is where alot of tree huggers live, I find I do quite well with my eco marketing in that area they love the green message but they must be confused with cleaning chemicals as they don't tend to know what to use so therefore don't use any!!

Colin, he wants to clean her carpets

i also hate driving long distances as i got 9 points all for speeding all on the motorway and none of them for going over 70 mph yeh i know i should have paid more attention to signs anyway train would be my first choice.

[derek west]

helicopter for me, things are going well.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I've got 9 points also, I smile though when the camara goes off

Re Ian's daughter

I'm sure she's a lovely girl but I was just interested as Ian said she lived in my neck of the woods, I have 'all on' with the women in my life (wife and the mini wife aka daughter) I won't be adding another female to my life in a bloody hurry!!

I was hoping Shaun would have the  DESCRIBED PROPERTY to let in in his empire.

But good point about the floods , Main problem besides parking is in Winter getting up the hill and down without crashing her new pride and joy.
Back to CCDO is there insurance Cover?

I organised a Charity Event recently and as I was not a Club or Organization who already had insurance I found I was not covered .

I nearly had to Cancel as the quotes for one day was £350, I was thinking it would be £90

Highway Code

What's the speed limit on a Motorway for a non car based van?

[derek west]

answer!
as fast as you like with a good sat nav to warn of on coming cams.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

My other 2 properties are are fit for rats so I let to students instead

Actually I or should I say SHE hasn't taken the rent as income for some time as it's be spent on renovation, CH, new windows, loft conversion, letting agent takes 10%, may be an indoor pool next year unless they make one in the cellar themselves.

Shaun

[Karl Wildey]

yes for me and will probably be with 2 other carpet cleaners from the Norfolk area

[Ian Gourlay]

In that case   Great Yarmouth

Would take nearly as long as going to Yorkshire

[derek west]

still can't believe you guys haven't started a brain storming thread to see what people might want there.

[Andrew Briscoe]

Regarding travel and destination, i think the present location is fine, i have to
travel 200 mile. Best idea would be to hire minibuses etc, and pick up along route,
ie those coming from Scotland and there are a few could collect along the M6 corridor,
same could be done along other routes.

Outcome

A "Jolly Boys Outing"

Derek, on ccdo forum i suggested a low moisture demonstration, as there is a lot of talk on
here about it, also i offered to take my old Scorpion, if someone could also bring their Airflex
And also 3 vac Altech, just so others, including newbies could see said machines all at once.
Paul Pearce (god) thought it was a good idea, also to have a speed competition of cleaning 10 sqm of carpet.

Anyone else have any ideas what they would like to see, maybe a high powerered tm
in action, whats your thoughts.
