Ever heard the quote 'quality over quantity' it's one day...... you got enough  there for a week

[derek west]

i was going for quality and quantity mike. 

something for everyone.

My day would be, john kelly odour removal followed by richards carpet protectors as ive never sold protector  then allans marketing seminar. hog roast, then video marketing seminar (if i can get someone) and then julies colour repair, few chin wags inbetween and if any time left nip over and check out jamie, see if he had any new low moisture toys to try out.
I've seen everything else but if i hadn't i'd save it for next year.

What happened to Paul Moss? His demos were good. Have you fallen out?

[derek west]

Not sure, would love mossy to do the spot and stain, guy was star of the show in 2013. seen him do some ultrasound (i think) stain removal, that was better than allan simmons disappearing card trick 

struggling for spot and stain because most of the guys want it done with all chems instead of product specific which is understandable.

Hmm, wonder who this is ?

No not heard from Derek for about 18 months ir so now

I don't think tacca is going in the wrong direction, but it does seem to be standing still with no real direction indicated.

Tacca day is in its third year and if it improves as much this year as it did last year then it will be a great event but the facts are derek has his own business to run so i can't see how he's going to have the time to evolve tacca on his own he really does in my opinion need help and input from others though its a thankless job that i wouldn't volunteer for.
 
alternatively he could make  tacca day the biggest event in the carpet cleaners calendar and if he can get the numbers up it could be an event that could make his business a tidy annual profit with room for development and if he chose this route i certainly wouldn't blame him as so far he's done all the hard graft himself .

lastly paul you are a bit of a carpet cleaning oracle as well as a nice guy to be in company with so you will be missed

[derek west]

For me its just about putting on a good day, one that everyone will enjoy and come away with that one bit of inspiration or idea that will pay for the day out, tenfold.

Early bird tickets are available now so grab em before they go up in price.

I think its working, let me know if its not, remember to add 1 ticket at a time to your basket if buying multiples.

just purchased my TACCA ticket, get that apple sauce prepared, its gonna be a Crackling day

[derek west]

For those that are staying the night, i've managed to negotiate a deal with a local hotel,

cheap enough to bring the wife and send her off to cheshire oaks while you attend the event. then after that you can make a weekend of it. plenty to do in cheshire. even for the whole family 

 Ramada encore Crewe
Emperor Way, Crewe CW1 6BD
01270 506620

We negotiated a low rate for TACCA attendees and trainers.
This is a refundable rate
£29 room only, Friday 1st May
£35 room only Saturday 2nd May

Breakfast £7 per person

Mention TACCA and carpet cleaners event and you will qualify for this rate.
Be quick, rooms are selling out fast.
