RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show 20qy

never mind Mother's day, just move the whole thing to another location - that's what puts me off time and again

Surely someone could have had the sense to move Mothers Day?

It was pretty quiet today, though. Mother's day, daft idea to run it then.

Originally posted by Peaky I really enjoyed. For classes which don't realistically expect to sell any boats there, it must be getting difficult to justify. I'm not sure about an on the water show, it would be logistically very difficult. I would quite like a nostalgia show though, where classes which still exist but no longer attend the show, or those that have died off, can get to exhibit in an affordable manner. A sort of museum for a weekend.

Drop into a cvrda event some time!

Could Y&Y support an event for a few keen classes in the same way that Classic boat supported (supports?) Beale Park? I can see something where classes and builders without the clout of the big boys could get together, swallow egos and have a lovely weekend showing off their wares.

It's grossly expensive now, for the actual classes and only those that get some support from builders can warrant it, and the more I think about it, i want to actually sit in them you know, try them on for size, touchy feely, lift them up, stuff like that, try hauling some around on actual trailers, we do need an on the water dinghy class show that doesn't cost the earth, either to show, or attend and personally if the RYA were not there it wouldn't worry me one iota.
