Ah yes, the prospect of a day out in the back end of Brum and its lovely grid-locked motorway network. Not, perhaps, everyone's idea of a good time.

I guess the majority of sailing goes on in the south so only sensible to run the show in the south ....

The NEC is a good venue and preferable to Earls Court. But there is currently no boat 'event' there which is why I didn't mention it

Earls Court is a horrible venue and should have been demolished years ago. Excel beats it hands down in every way possible.

HOWEVER, I accept that if you live to the west of London Earls Court is easier to get to.

For dinghy sailors neither event can approach the Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, although parking and access are far from perfect.

Yes. It is also the time of year when the City boys have received their bonuses.

 

Yep; another reason NOT for having the show in Dec.
