TF Awards

[AliGage]

With the announcement of the TTA awards recently. What does everyone think to the idea of having our own? Maybe we could get some sponsors involved for some prizes etc?
Might get a bit of a buzz going round the forum a little maybe? Depending on what "categories" we can decide on it might be a way of 1) recognising other contributions to the forum and 2) perhaps offering something to the people that contribute or have contributed something of real substance.

Could be a chance for a few people who may not feel confident entering into something like JOTM to be recognised in other ways?

I think that could be a good thing for TF Ali, I have just sent off my application for Master Craft accreditation, I hope I might be nominated for this very prestigious award.

Anything that promotes exellence in our industry is imo a good thing.

I spend a lot of time on my own when at work, and a lot of time at work. I really do feel that the forum is in a very good position, certainly with a few heavy weights in the industry among us to really make a difference.
We all have complained about bad workmanship, cowboy builders etc etc. The internet is an incredibly powerful resource. I think if we could all focus our efforts on promoting professionalism within tiling and the need for a professional tiler when undertaking the work we do we could perhaps make a mark, may only be a small one but a mark none the less.

In less than a month i will be back in my office rather than where i am now (for those of you that know my situation currently or part there of) and i have been playing with quite a few ideas in my head for not only my own business but for ways the forum could help the trade a little more.

Time to paint up some bed sheets, grab a picket board and stand in line people!!
