Did anyone else think Southampton BS...

Where was the RYA Lounge this year? One of my grumbles in the last few years was the fact that they had moved it from the main show area into one of those stupid little areas that required you to climb a bridge. I used to enjoy breaking for lunch in the RYA Lounge but have settled for a bag of chips on the hoof for the last couple of years.

Allegedly there were more exhibitirs than last year. I also managed to bag a bargain, getting 10% off the ticket price (a £50 saving) which was already cheaper than I could find it on the Internet for.

As for the above comment re 'stupid areas' I found some really interesting things in both of the smaller show sections, including my bargain above. If you let a bridge put you off, you are missing out IMHO.
