British Motor Yacht Show 2015

Is it happening? Website hasn't been updated since last year; no reference on the Princess, Fairline or Sunseeker websites. Anybody know anything? Or is it a casualty of the demise of the BCU/Fairline partnership?

Where's it being held (assuming it's going ahead)

I would be really surprised if it doesn't go ahead again.

In monetary terms I think it is pennies compared to the big 2 shows in the UK but a very concentrated gathering of owners get reached. Phenomenal access to boats and an unparalleled opportunity for direct comparisons.

We plan to be there again.

I suspect given the low key nature of the show compared to SIBS, LIBS, etc it is seen as a bit of a village fete and a bit more last minute. JFM's after show party to welcome Match into the world will go down in history

Presumably Swanwick marina again.

E-mail Premier at Swanwick ... they'll know if it's booked.

It's on again in May for sure. Issue is whether Fairline will attend I understand

Looking forward to it. The last two have been great. Nice relaxed atmosphere and no pressure.

What's needed is a Host & Hostess based in Swanick to keep other forum member's attending refreshed with cold drinks, any ideas?

 

[lisilou]

Hmmmm I'll have a think and get back to you coz there must be someone lol.

Are you not invited to make use of the berth holder VIP area with free drinks and food during each day and an after show party on the Saturday?
I thought all Swanwick berth holders had been sent invites and wristbands.

 

[lisilou]

Alas Paul, we've yet to decide which VIP offer to take up. Quite stressful trying to keep everyone happy y'know

I can only imagine.

Apparantly Premier, Princess, Fairline and Sunseeker all got together and drew lots, whoever lost had to invite us...

 

[lisilou]

Normal service will be resumed in a couple of weeks!
