How was it - Dinghy Show 2010

I could be wrong but is that not the Wayfarer World, we had one at Hunts a few years back. it never went out though.

Show was great with some excellent boats on show.  Nice to see real used boats on the stands such as Roger Gilberts I14.  So far as downsides ....  I specifically went to join the RYA and despite them having a huge stand in the entrance, I was told that they could not take membership applications at the show and that I should go home and apply on line!!!!     Other major dissapointment was the parking .....  I was running slightly late and didn't get there until 11 a.m. (opened at 10)  Sat, by which time all parking was full and I was told to go and park somewhere in town miles away.  They did hand out an illegible map which showed no car parks! and was about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, so that really tainted my whole opinion of the day having walked miles up the hill to get there and my 13 year old son had certainly had enough by the time we actually got in!  Overall, great show but wrong venue ....  any suggestions on where we could hold next years????  NEC?

Your probably right about NEC, but there must be somewhere large enough, bags of parking, good accesabilty, reasonably central (London to midlands range?) and therefore accesable to majority?????  .....  and not tooooo expensive.
