what is that show called? Wind, power, watersport? Whatever. Is anyone going, has anyone been? Is it worth the journey into hideous London and the £14 for a ticket?

Earls court 2 is the bigger "half". If they're also not using the upstairs in 1, then it's WAY under half the size of last year's show in terms of floor space.
