decided to get myself in gear and go on nett's tiling course, 21st april, already have the tools and the van so hopefully start doing jobs for friends and family straight away bout 3.5 hour drive so i best get some accomodation sorted!

Good luck and the course mate....you could maybe leave us feed back when you have done it..cheers...

NETT...

good luck mate
You'll enjoy it but get yourself into paid jobs straightaway if possible - i am

i have a couple of jobs that i need to do for friends which ill be doing soon after the course, i intend to continue doing this full time if possible, ive changed my hours at my current job to 12 hours a week, monday nights and saturday daytime, so that leaves me plenty of time if i have tiling jobs on the go, if not theres allways overtime which is good.

can anyone recommend accomodation near to the centre? ideally with safe parking. i know theres a few listed on NETTs site, but a recommendation would be great cheers

here you go mrspoon i stopped there when i was on course at end of feb great brecky.
i aint stopped tiling since course ive done a 30+m2 in 600x400 bathroom walls & floor in travertine for a friend + a shop front in 300 x300 marble & now on with a showroom extension for the same person who has his own business manufacturing granite work tops & natural stone tiles i'm tiling all the bays out in differant types off natural stone.

cheers andy, ive checked out there site but didnt notice anything about parking? i did rush through it tho, is there parking available? ive spoke to a chap from a kitchen/bathroom place local to me and hes interested in putting work my way once i have more experience and offered me trade discounts too

only road side parking but seemed safe.

nice 1, ill give them a bell tomorow

seacrest ...good clean b&b.

you will love the course m8.

ring brenda at seacrest a bell mate, good rooms and great grub, parking on road only but away from town centre so safe as houses

thanks for the replies guys, i gave seacrest a call but unfortunately they were already booked up but she put me intouch with another locasl guest house (the kingsmere) and ive booked myself in there

apparantly the kingsmere is sound as well matey, but heard the brekkie not as good as brendas lol

ah thats no problem with me, im the kind to get up and just skip breakfast anyway, tho since ive paid for it i might aswell
what time does the course start? i know it finishes at half 6ish but cant seem to find any info on when it starts, will be having a lovely 3 hour drive on the monday mornin

just sent you a private message mate re course

andy

The tiling course starts around 8:45 until around 6:30-7:00 enjoy the course mate its a lot to take in so you have to listen carefully to what darren says,but the course is excellent and well worth the money,of course you will know that just by reading the feedback on the forum.
Good luck..
