As most are now aware, The NCCA, in conjunction with Martin Scott, The Cleaningshows Event Director, have arranged for a competition open to ALL show visitors.
 
To help to create more interest in the NCCA's exhibiting Associates Stands, all show visitors will receive a map, emphasising all of the exhibiting Associates stands. On visiting these stands, the attendee will receive a stamp. Once they have received ten seperate stamps, they can then enter into a prize draw on the NCCA stand.
 
Donations for the prizes have been coming in thick and fast, and the prizes offered are significant. Of those that I am aware of, Amtech UK have donated one of their new CFR Wonder Wands. Solutions UK have donated one of their new Heated Spotter machines which is to be launched at the show. HydraMaster Ltd have donated £300 worth of goods from their Shelfmaster range of Products, and Prochem Europe are pleased to donate course vouchers to cover two days of training at their base in Chessington, Surrey. Chemspec Europe are offering a carpet cleaning chemical package from their range worth more than £350, including carpet and upholstery detergents, pre-sprays, deodourisers, spotters and an assortment of marketing leaflets to help professionals extend their business opportunities.
 
As you can see, all of the prizes are well worth winning, and I applaud the NCCA and their Associates above for their vision and generosity.
 
Lets try and flood the entry box and keep the prizes within our industry. After all, we wouldn't want a window cleaner to win one would we   
 
See ya there.
 
Safe and happy showtime

what about the love?

Shaun

Big Hugs for everyone that goes to the NCCA stand

[Chris Bailey]

I think the NCCA & asociates are very generous, however, I would suggest everyone steers clear.....

Why?

Cus I need a new hand tool and I am looking for a spotter and this would save a small fortune, just under £700!!

Just dreaming I guess, see you at the show, I'll be the one visiting all the associates stands collecting the stamps.

Chris

[Derek]

Steady on Shaun...you will have people talking 


Chris...the prizes as listed were the first to come in they are still being offered by the generous Associate members of the NCCA
