Just looked at the forum generated email about the Manchester Cleaning Show and noticed the FWC as being listed as a contributor to the proceedings.

When I joined this forum there would be heated debates about their relevance and other things and I wondered if anyone here is a member and if so why?

Genuine question.

Not anymore, I can't recall one benefit from being a member, quarterly magazine 20% discount on over priced equipment.

[VERNE]

more beneficial to join the salvation army

[cgh window cleaning]

I am.

Years ago it was good to show you were part of a trade association .

But in all the years I have been a member I have never needed them or been asked about them by a client.
I use the logo on my van and stationary and to be honest that's what your paying for.

They offer slight discounts on tools and insurance but I've never used them.

I am half thinkin about cancelling.

Make love not wahr.

Is it still possible to get NVQ's in cleaning windows these days?

Price starts from around £95 a year depending on how many employees you have.

Good to have someone on your side when there's a hosepipe ban I suppose?

I cant understand FWC I have asked them to come to my window cleaning show but they wont attend and sit in a muddy field and spend penny's to attend and be mobbed by window cleaners they choose to go to the Manchester show where it has allsorts of company's attending  and only window cleaning company attending and costing them stupidly high prices you can see why they are fading away

The window cleaners Guild may be better suited to sitting in a field Mark ?  Maybe the owner of it might offer himself up to be put in stocks in a muddy field and charge to pelt fruit at him ? I realise the word "Guild" might suggest its a collective, but no really it has an "owner", you could do no worse than ask ?

The problem with that is there would be such a massive amount of people who would like to join in  I would have to extend the show a week

You don't do "subtle" do you Bryan? 

It's Alexander Swan - not Alexandra Swan.

Not She, she, she.   But He.  He.  He. 

See, you're laughing already.
