"Parking:

Parking onsite is free and there are 1000 spaces , however, due to the popularity of the show, parking areas can become full at peak times so if you are travelling by car arrive early and follow the guidance of the onsite attendants who will direct you to alternative parking when necessary. "

The venue is lovely i.e Ally Pally as a building. As I said, the location and travel is not. Re-read my post 😉 We both agree on the crap location and travel issues.

I am sure a better location could be found but it's all about cost, as it's a very Corinthian event - tho getting more and more Not Corinthian (for want of a better phrase)

NEC would be great but costs would outweigh the audience.

Sorry, nothing personal please believe me, but what on earth is 'lovely' about the venue? its in a horrendous traffic jammed location with exorbitant parking and the prospect of hours of driving or trains to get to for everyone outside of the M25? Even if the weather wasn't causing a host of problems its long overdue a move to pretty much anywhere other than the outer-hebrides or Norwich, which I will concede, are harder to reach, marginally.

Seriously? Who in their right mind would volunteer to serve an organisation that requires several waiver and confidentiality documents signed. You couldn't write it, never mind make it up. Corporate jobsworth world gone mad.

Pleased to say we are supposed to be having a Phantom on the Ovington stand.
Lets just hope they can make it from the North East after this week.
Sorry but I preferred your boat without the  Fablon fake carbon look on your Farr.
Cant believe its the 2nd of March and nobody has mentioned the new PY'S as Graham has bought one the 3.7 is bound to have an EN now, said you should have gone on the committee. LOL
 
Well there are a couple of really good examples for sale right now, both tricked out as I will eventually with mine, but they have that 'wood look' which unfortunately isn't compatible with my hard core kiter image it's bad enough I have to use alooominum on my lake boat but luckily no-one can see it down there.

On the weather front.. ahem it's started to snow again here
