LIBS today...

[jb2006]

..was vey quiet - some of the exhibitors were saying that the weekend was like a weekday. I thought it was pretty good - the DOLR trains weren't packed, got an excellent discount on the Pasties at lunchtime too...and a seat on the funny rope knot things.

Seemed pretty busy to me, busier than last year by a long way for a Monday. Lots of improvements as well.

I went on Sunday and was concerned it was going to be too busy.

I would actually describe it as being like a weekday, so may be numbers are a bit down.

I must admit I can't see why people moan about LIBS at Excel.

It's far better laid out, easy to move around and has good facilities.

Asd for communications / transaport I got on the train at Southampton and by using the Underground and DLR didn't have to go outside of a station once.

The RYA Lounge is a useful haven for a spot of lunch and relaxation and if you like gin, Tanqueray were giving away G n T or a gin, apple juice and elderflower coctail.
So good I had two!!

Thouroughly enjoyed the day.
