Added 30/10/08: I'm getting lots of people messaging me asking for inclusion before even contributing to the forum at all, let alone hitting the 20 post mark. Note that the TilersForums Arms is exclusive for regular users of the forum and you need to have made at least 20 posts / contributions to the forum before being considered. This is to ensure the forum still runs well, and all questions are getting lots of contribtions from many types of tilers, new and established.
Added 24/05/2009: You can also send Dave a PM to request access to the TilersForums Arms.
The Tilers Forums Arms is a forum that is hidden from standard registered members.
There are many topics discussed int he Tilers Forums Arms out of the eyes of your customers, and the rest of the internet.
Things discussed in the Tilers Forums Arms include those related to; Pricing and Pricing Advice, 'Trouble' Customers, Tips related to Gaining Extra Tiling Work, General Tiling Business Runnings, The Odd Joke (we all like a laugh) and anything else that we thought would be best suited out of the reach of the rest of the world.
How to Gain Access
Firstly you need to have contributed to the forums, to our community, perhaps by introducing yourself to the rest of the members in the Introductions Forum. You can contribute to the forum by welcoming other new members too, this keeps us all happy
Secondly, as the Tilers Forums Arms is strictly for tradespeople (both new and old mind!) you'll need to prove you're working as a tradesperson currently or are seriously considering it by either sending me or Dave a PM (private message) with the link to your listing on www.findtrustedtradesmen.co.uk (free to list your business) OR if that's not your thing, send me your Name, Business Name, Business Telephone Number and Postal Address. If you've just done a course and haven't quite setup then please post a review about your training centre on www.tilingcoursesreviews.co.uk and then PM me or Dave with a link to it and your proposed business details and address etc.
We would like to make all professional tradespeople or people getting into the trade (at a late stage in the process, perhaps even sometimes still in another job completely) members of the Tilers Forums Arms! So pease try to do the above as soon as you can.
