Just back from the show, cracking night last night in the Bryden Arms, Good show today, brilliant sunshine, good company and John Gotts's cheese burgers what more could you ask for.

[Jim_77]

Freebies from John Kelly?  Oh wait.....



Great to meet up with everyone again and yes that was a handsome cheeseburger

I predict next year the Bryden Arms will double its sales, what a fantastic idea!!

[AshWhite]

It was a definate improvement over last year, good turnout too. As Jim said, good to catch up with a few off the interweb, and meet some new faces.

John Gotts, Jamie Pearson, and John Bryden certainly looked after us with the BBQ & beers - can't fault em!

But best of all I won a tub of formula 90

And a t-shirt from window cleaning magazine

Great day good to see you all.

I would like to echo the positive comments above.  It was a real success having both the NCCA Carnival and the CIU Vanfest running side by side, in my opinion.  Much better overall than last year, great to meet up with other carpet cleaners and also the numerous suppliers.
Many thanks the John Gott (Hydramaster) for the cups of tea and burgers - they went down a treat.
Also good to see the excellent 'Cleanbright' van setup - best I've seen certainly - I bought his old TM setup from him a couple of years back, and it has served me well.

Echo the above comments, Great Day sat, and friday evening was fantastic, The hospitallity shown by John Gotts, John & Jan Bryden and Jamie Pearson was 2nd to none,

John Gotts made me work for my bloody burgers  , at least i got a Free polo shirt and got him 4 demos for the phoenix! Bloody good salesman me! 

It was really good to meet some new faces and cross path with some old ones to, Well at least Jim Neal turned up early this time 

Must say, had a good look at Alltecs new machine with the 6.6 motors and heat!!! I think is the new must have portable on the market, it will knock the socks off its competitors, Well done Chris Thomas, Might even consider one for myself for those 2 or 3 jobs a year i can't use the TM, I know its a bit heavier than others, but still easy enough to wheel in and out and climb stairs, and to all those that moan about a few kilos here and there, MMMMMMMMAANNNNNNN UUUUPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!  The Build quality of it is superb, best i've seen in its class, followed closely by the storm

[Paul Moss]

Derek,

You had a great time, Don't forget to send me that £100 you borrowed while you were there!

 

[Mike_Boxall]

Thanks for all your support everyone. As always, it's great to put some more faces to names. One of our visitors from the window cleaning side put together this video which is really worth a look:

I used your wages to buy you a tub of Chemspec High Heat powder in the auction.

[John Kelly]

Don't think it was black pudding think I picked up a bit of charcoal by mistake. I can still taste it

[Shaun_Ashmore]

You Geordies have coal for breakfast dinner and tea anyway.

I ate that egg btw. Quite proud of my ability to BBQ an egg 

Breakfast this morning was far better. Possibly because I was sober when I went to bed last night.

What new toys did you show Jamie?
