* British Moth

any other classes/associations not going this year? (opportunity to point people towards your website instead?)

I'm pretty sure that the Europe Class won't be there either due to costs, but it's still a fabulous boat with a lovely Class set up and open racing.  http://www.ukeuropeclass.com

it would be a shame if this was the last show, as it would spoil my plan of going once every three years. The ageing brain has forgotten previous visits and you dont notice its the same thing dragged out each time.

The Dinghy Show is a pre-season social event.

A chance to catch up with friends who now frequent other classes and generally gossip ...


If it stops it will be a great shame.


I wonder what the objectives of the show are from the RYAs perspective ...??

Is there a single credible bit of evidence for this rumour? Apart from anything else, normally if an event is going to be the last one its publicised because turnout is likely to increase.

Suzuki end of sponsorship, last year on the Ally Pally contract...

dead? No, not necessarily

Change? Inevitable.

FB chatter, there was apparently a meeting of stakeholders the respondent went to, the Suzuki Sponsorship is ending as is the shows tenure at the Alexandra Palace, so discussions were taking place as to what to do next.

If you could see me now I'm doing the "move it somewhere else like Birmingham or just anywhere outside the M25" dance and crossing my fingers Wink
