The only way to find out is go and make your own mind up. There will be those that will say it's a waste of time and those that say it's great and well worth a visit. There will more than likely be those against in the majority so you will really learn nothing.
Me? I just will be working there.! Why not come down for the last weekend and then you get another two shows for free!

Best time to go is before the other shows kick in imho as these have nothing to do with boats and a lot of time wasters will be around @ that time with flasks of cold tea and spam sandwiches in tow

If you have never been before then go and make up your own mind afterwards. Well worth the visit imho
Free Parking - Free Entrance Tickets - Free Champagne - Free Dinner - Free Hotel Accommodation - need I say more
Oh and don't forget to take your cheque book with you then all of the above applies
We need to support these guys and not keep knocking them otherwise we will all be going to Dusseldorf next year - Which fyi is on my to do list

There is a bike show and an Outdoor show starting on the Friday. They were actually quite good last year.David, can you please enlighten me as to 'two shows for free'
Thanks
And for those that think they are a load of cold tea drinkers, several of them booked PB2 courses with me last year.
If you buy a ticket/s to the boat show you get to go to the other shows for "free".

It would cost me less to go to Dusseldorf than to London.
It would probably be a lot nicer too.

Agree on the later part and I can get you a free pass for next year

Same as you Lanerboy we've never been to LIBS before, but we're quite looking forward to it. I've enjoyed reading the other post regarding LIBS and the differing views, but for me although it's not on the door-step, i'm seeing it as a boat focused family day out and to top it off i need to buy some bits of kit, which i will be able to purchase / haggle for all under one roof. I guess I Should point out that even if i didn't need to buy anything, i would still be going as i personally feel it offers a good boating experience day out for the price of the entrance fee.
Question should be, when is the best weekend to visit (Unfortunately can't visit in the week), the first weekend or the last weekend ?

To be fair the were some bloody freaks as well.
Pot bellied middle aged men in Lycra and funny cycling shoes, people with beards and scruffy shorts playing bike polo, swampy and his mates sitting around a bit of string between 2 poles and every now and again one of them would try to balance on it for half a second.
I felt very comfortable when I saw radars chart plotters and life jackets again

There you go lanerboy - 2 free tickets for you - but be quick
Alternativelly I am sure that Sealine would give you a couple off tickets if you ask nicely and let them know you are in the market
