Geoff is now fully self employed fitter

All the very best. I would recommend you to anybody. You could not have looked after me better if I had been your own brother.

I have had 1 idea already which we will discuss when I am in UK next week I hope.

I now have a web site up and running , it is pretty basic to start off with , a shop and other photo's will be added as will a few more blogs as I do more Recovers and other billiard fitting work .

All the very best to you in this venture Geoff, quite surprised to see you taking the plunge after all this time though I'm sure you will make a success of it.

[Geoff Large]

It was a no Brainer realy , 37 years experience and still enjoying what I do , I still have the same spark for it when I first got into Billiard fitting , I should have done it 8 years ago when John hopkin retired .
I have had a good first 2 weeks of work , I know the Summer months are slow for work coming in for the Cuesports industry , but winter is just around the corner , and with all the rain we have been having the tables have been getting played on more .
Many thanks to all who have encouraged me , and to those who have contacted me for work , please spread the word that I am available for Snooker or Pool fitting / rerubbers / recovers etc .
in this game its all about getting youre self Known , do that and you are more than half way there .
the other half is maintaining youre popularity and keeping your name on club secretarys minds .
I am not out to make big bucks , just a living so I am not interested in speed work anymore and turning over Volume work as some call it . just doing a good job for a fair price .

Diesel/Petrol Receipts,
Tyres receipts,
Servicing etc etc
Lunch/Dinner receipts - (client lunches of course)
Any other misc than you pay for that is 'loosely' in relation to the work your undertaking
This can all be claimed back via tax relief when filing your returns ;-)

All the very best mate in your new quest.

Tools and even washing of work clothes, it all to claim for...Get yourself a business account, it's then so easy when doing your return..

All the very best , Geoff..

[Geoff Large]

Yes I have a buisness account , my wife works for Loyds Bank , I also have an accountant , I have been advised what to claim for , at the end of the Day a good accountant knows what to do .

many thanks for the good wishes ,

Geoff

Hi Geoff, Hurricane rooms in east Acton have apparently given the go ahead to re-cloth the tables. I know that it is not worth you coming down but perhaps. Your friend could all them?
PS don't call the club like I said get your friend to call head office a speck to the area manager. I don't know what your game is like for stepping on other fitters toes (nicking work) but business is business!
Good luck.
