With two London shows coming up, what do we want to see (apart from the obvious - new boats and new gear)?

Maybe a heaving line contest: the person heaving it furthest gets a decent prize, like a day out on GM IV (less damaging to light fittings and more instructive than a welly heaving contest and less expensive than throwing ipods (i.e. er, podcasting).

Or how about a demo of cleaning products on a very manky auld GRP boat, with a bit more cleaned each day of the show to see (a) if they work and (b) how much work is actually involved.

Perhaps a wooden classic being rebuilt?

Of course anything involving celebrities getting wet is always to be welcomed.

I'm sure you can come up with some much better ideas, so what are they?
 
Excel will once more have their (our) Classic Boat Stand with lots to see and sniff. As for Earls Court there will be plenty going and I will report back on Friday!
 
Ask and you shall receive........

Come on Scuttlebutters, can you really not come up with some boaty ideas for Excel (I agree it is a little late for Earls Court)?

Free rum a plenty?

I'd go; but I doubt if they'd make a profit or even manage to break even. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Plenty of free rum at the show last year.

With the free Gin and some free beer thrown in I was normally steaming by half 4.
 
While you and I have never met, the prospect of seeing you naked with your feet up around the back of your neck does not sound attractive....... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
