sorry to be a bother, but will the new thread be for signing up for the training day too, or will just an email to the links on the post be enough for that. i sent an email to the address provided stating my hope to get on it, but not sure if i need to wait for the next thread to apply now.hope someone can clarify this for me. cheers in advance.

Dont forget if there is anything in particular you want to see at the demo just ask..ie tanking, self leveller , glitter grout and you get a chance to get hands on trial too

christmas in may :hurray: woohooo !
Hello guys - just got back from my Mapei Training day (today).
What I loved:
- The factory tour is in istself worth the effort to go to Halesowen, 2 men and a mechanic producing 4 million bags of addy an hour :lol::lol:
- The lunch was produced by one of those trendy "directors buffet" type caterers - delicious if you are into haute cuisine or into haute baconroll.
- The tutor actually taught me how to properly mix and use Mapei grout (including epoxy).
- I was interested in using more Mapei products - I can now selct the right replacements for my building addy lineup.
- Mapei's SLC has to be the best I have seen for tilers.
- Who else produces 26 different coloured grouts and silicones?
- Free goody bag included a trick tape measure (compartment holds drill screw bits and mini pencil!) and 2 T-shirts.
- I got to meet the Mapei Groupie - some guy shuffling around humming Purple Haze, spreading Mapei Adselix P9 on his sarnies, answers to the name of Dean.....:smilewinkgrin:
What I did not like:
- training is free so 6 other attendees were unable to attend.
- All free T-shirts are XL - trying to tell us all tilers are fat?
- could not blag a free sample tray of Mapei Grouts (such a cool sample tray to show customers)
- Mapei now produce Glitter Grout. OK it is a best seller but do we really have to cater to the tastes of frustrated 10 year old girls?
So to sum up guys and gals - a really great day out, a remarkable learning day, see some tiling sights you would not otherwise see, but please - if you book it - turn up. :smilewinkgrin:

yes the non shows annoy me too.
t Shirts fit me fine and I aint fat :smilewinkgrin:
Grout trays are like gold dust...glad I have 4 of them.
Actually ardex/ Kerakoll do a wide range of grout colours but not sure about silicon . The grouts are not as good IMO
Glitter grout is a supply and demand item. Cant blame Mapei for meeting the demand.
Most importantly who else gives you days like this FOC ?
Well done Mapei...again.
