I was there today too and I didn't think it was fantastic. Picked up a half price rooster rash vest, cheap pair of musto gloves and my mate got a spray top with 20% knocked off, but the rest of the stuff was insanely expensive. I went mainly because I hoped I could get some cheap salopettes, but they were all full price (thank God my dad knows a guy who's sponsored by Gill - 50% discount :D)!

Only thing worth having a good gander at was a C class cat hidden away in the far corner of the hall with all the boats in.  If you go, don't miss it.
 
Lots of shiny motorboats with bored salespeople (obviously waiting for the bankers (spelt with a w) to turn-up with their bonuses burning holes in their pockets).
 
No cheap chandlery or clothing (so don't bother going for that).  I was after a pair of Ocean salopettes but the cheapest I could find were at the "bargain" price of £280! Shocked
 
Anyone got a pair of HPX trousers that they want to sell?
