Good man. It's worth the trip mate. Actually see a power stretcher being used for the first time yesterday!
Wish I could have gone this year. They guy what I work for is going tomorrow I think. I want to go next year thats for sure, never been before.
Had a amazing time at my first flooring show. Talking to lots of company's, watching the demos and having a few drinks lol. Nice to see the forum lads Dan & John. Also to meet Dans mate graham who can drink like a fish. Hope it's going well Matt and your getting people signed up. Looking forward to next year. Will defo be going 2 days.
It's the first Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in September. It was good to meet up with people again Sid, Dave, Dan, Daz - thanks for the hospitality Matt and met up with a cracking little new apprentice goes by the name of Jacob!! Not as busy as previous years but still one or two new ideas/products. Oh and the free lunch is always good.
i just got back. Puffff im knackered. Hope to have some real good news for you all soon. Masses of manufactories love the new fitters directory - http://theflooringforum.com/listing.php and are using it to refer customers, they also love the forum and want to help you lot out with special offers in the Trade section also. As for FloorSkills we have masses of people wanting to come on our fully funded Apprenticships and the funded upskilling course for teh older fitters. Its gone really well. Expect to see a few new names on here. Really good weekend. Thanks to all that came over to say hello. Thanks for Daz and Dan for drinking the beer fridge dry also.
Hi didn't get a beer I went monday and matt was busy on a demo oh well show seemed a bit quiet this year but will be trying out me new extra sharp blades lol
An lvt demo I was talking to the two northern lads going to come and do your courses but will be going ltd first my mate will be coming on it 2 On another note on the fita stand did anyone spot the 12 faults?
To be fair it was a bit of a difficulty one as some of the faults are not a BS fault but a 'FITA' fault. Now there is some things that FITA class as a fault but myself and others dont. But then there is stuff that they do that in my eyes is stupid and a blatant fault. Who is correct? Both i guess, but looking at something different to each other. This is why i think its stupid that FITA dont want to work together with the other training providers out there. Maybe just maybe they will one day? Anyway, lets start up a list of what you think was a fault and i will tell you if it was a 100% fault of if your fault is a FITA fault or maybe a fault that you think is a fault that may actually be a fault (does that make sence?) I will start- Fault 1= what was you all doing on FITA's stand on not ours? (That is a 100% fault ) 2- ... 3- 4-
