Wicksteed Park Historical and beautiful grounds The Carnival will be held at the historical and beautiful Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire. Wicksteed is a very popular day out destination for families. It was one of the first Leisure Parks in the UK and is also an English Heritage Grade II Listed Park and Garden. Within the grounds there is something for everybody to enjoy. From the play area, fairground and lake activities, to the parkland, dining options and other facilities, you can make your day as fun-filled or as relaxed as you want. Places to eat There are various food outlets situated conveniently throughout the park, so refreshments are always nearby. All food is freshly prepared on-site and ranges from Bistro dining to fast food and snacks. But, if none of that takes your fancy, you could always bring your own picnic or barbeque food. For the kids (and the kids at heart!) Amongst the numerous attractions are one of the biggest and best FREE playgrounds in Europe, a fairground aimed at families with young children up to the age of 13/14 years old, racing cars, a lakeside area featuring a water chute, a monorail, crazy golf, nautical jets and boats and the UK's busiest narrow gauge railway. The park also boasts one of the UK’s tallest and longest zip wires RUSH. RUSH has a top speed of 40mph, is as high as a six-storey building, is 310 metres long and comprises three zip wires to allow families and friends to take the plunge together. Additionally Wicksteed has announced a host of new attractions for 2015, marking the completion of a £3million restoration project. They include an indoor interactive play area, a thrilling new drop slide, a walk-through aviary, a sand and water play area and new lakeside features made out of natural materials to encourage children to climb and explore. Staying overnight at Wicksteed Park Wicksteed offers fully-equipped on-site camping facilities for caravans, camper vans and tents - ideal for a long weekend or overnight break - right in the heart of the park in a beautiful spot overlooking the lake! So, if you don't want to drive back home after the day's events, you won't have to spend a fortune on overnight accommodation. If camping isn’t your style, how about staying at one of Wicksteed’s beautiful luxury timber lodges? They are fully furnished, sleep up to six, and are located in a secure gated area right next to the park. Central location Centrally located in the heart of the Midlands, Wicksteed is easily accessible by train or by car. If you are travelling by car, the park can be accessed from Junction 10 on the A14 with direct North and South links from the M1 & A1. Parking There will be FREE PARKING for all Carnival attendees.

FEEDBACK FROM CCC 2014 Last year’s event was a great success and we received a huge amount of positive feedback from the visitors who attended. Here are some of the comments you made: “Thank you to everyone involved in organising the
CCC 2015 Show Guide (page 4)
Carnival. We had an absolutely fantastic day! There was a great atmosphere, which was friendly, relaxed and 'non-corporate'. The seminars were really helpful and there were some excellent products at the exhibition. We appreciate all the thought and effort put in and hope you are all pleased with the result too. Five stars!” - Chris and Maggie Walker (All Clean, Nottinghamshire). ***************************************** “We would like to thank everyone involved in the Carpet Cleaners Carnival for an absolutely wonderful day. I know how much effort is put in to organising this type of event and it is truly appreciated. It was great to catch up with old friends and meet new people. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the day!” - Peter Collins (Collins Cleaning Company, Surrey). **************************************** “I just wanted to say a big 'thank you' for such an excellent day. We both really enjoyed it and are looking forward to next year's event” - Keith Sanderson (Derby Carpet Cleaners, Derbyshire). **************************************** “I had a heavy week leading up to the Carnival and the thought of travelling 150 miles left me with the dilemma as to whether I should just have a restful day at home or drive to Kettering for the event. In the end I bit the bullet and went. I didn't arrive in time for the first few seminars, but the three I did manage to attend were very informative, each one being well worth the trip on their own. There was also the opportunity to talk to those who had stands at the show and see the new technical developments. It was a great day and I'm really glad that in the end I decided to go. Thank you to everyone who helped to organise it” John Jordan, (Carpet Miracles, Dorset). ***************************************** “Fantastic event! It was great to meet with
THE CARPET CLEANERS CARNIVAL 2015
colleagues and suppliers, both old and new. Roll on the next Carnival” - Dean Haywood (Five Star Furnishing Care Consultants, Bedfordshire). *************************************** “Thank you NCCA. I loved meeting the people that we've built up relationships with on Facebook. The event itself was also excellent. I attended Allan Simmons's marketing seminar (some thought provoking stuff) and got some great freebies from the stands at the exhibition. The magician was fab and kept my children, Imogen, Harry and Clara entertained. Harry is very into magic so he was extremely happy. The face painting was amazing too and the older two children also made use of Wicksteed Park, going on the rides etc. From visiting the show we now know what machine we'll be buying next and also that we will be attending a stone floor course at some point soon” Victoria Jordison (TopMark Cleaning, Norfolk).

In 2011 Ultimate Floor Sanding entered the UK market using an Affiliate network strategy, recruiting and training existing floor maintenance experts in floor sanding and then going on to promote and support them with the aid of a leading
German supplier of machines and floor finishing products.
