Wink Meguiars Detailing Seminars

Calling all Midlands Briskodans (and others as well, you're all welcome).

The very nice people at Meguiars have invited me and some fellow Briskodans to attend a free seminar at their head office sometime in November. For those of you who don't know, Meguiars are the US's leading manufacturer of care care products

They tell me that they hold seminars either on a weekday night or sometimes on a Saturday morning. Personally I have been using their products for years and love them

Before you ask, no I'm not on commission, just a chance to know more about taking care of my pride and joy.

If you would like to attend one of these seminars, please let me know name, time preference and day. I will do the rest

They will be held at their head office in Daventry. I'm going for sure, look forward to hearing from you.

May well be interested - would have to be a weekend day for me. Nothing booked in yet for Nov, so let me know

Steve

P.S. Can I bring a mate of mine who'd be interested as well?

Detailing seminars are held at their HQ in Daventry. I need to check dates but I would guess a Saturday morning might be best.

Not sure if they detail YOUR car but I would think they might to show what is possible.

I will get some dates established and let you all know in due course.

Sounds good to me

But I can imagine SWMBO's reaction when I say I'm going to a seminar on how to clean a car

Default Re: Meguiars Detailing Seminars

All those who are interested, the MD from Meguiars UK and I have been talking and the below applies for one of their detailing seminars inc dates

Currently the only available Saturday in November would be the 18th. During the week, 21-23rd or 28-30th, all 6 evenings are currently free.

20 attendees would be optimal. We would aim to start around 10am and finish at midday ( things can drag out a little bit with more enthusiastic groups....)[/b]


As we need 20 min, I need to know (i assume sat is best) quickly who will be attending. Please don't say yes unless you are sure. I can tell you, if you are serious about your pride and joy, this is NOT to be missed.

Talking Re: Meguiars Detailing Seminars

Guys so far I have 4 people for the seminar out of 10. I need 6 more to make it worthwhile on Sat Nov 18th or I will lose the day.

Is there anyone else that is interested and will definitely be able to make it. I can assure you if you like looking after your car, this is a must.

Let me know by the end of this week at the latest please.

Thumbs down Re: Meguiars Detailing Seminars

It's looking like I'm going to have to call this off

Must admit i'm a bit surprised at the lack of interest in this. Unless I can find 6 more interested people in the next week, this will have to be called off

Pity as everyone I know who has attended one of these says they are superb.

Anyone interested please let me know or PM me for more details.
