So, who is going to Exel then?

  • Thread starter Thread starter mjf

Our Marina (Penarth) have organised a trip so we will be there on the 18th.

It's a couple of years since we went so I will be interested to see how it's changed. I think I still prefer southampton though...
 
parking at excel

does anyone know if there is any alternative parking for the london boat show. What with both of us having to watch the pennies this year due to work issues, I wondered if there was a cheaper parking option then the £10 per day official car park, which although is great for location, is a bit steep. They are advertising a park n ride, but apparentley they won't open that until the official car park is full (bit of a con if you ask me).
anyone know of anyway you can park cheaper, maybe a car park one stop further on the tube?
 
Re: parking at excel

Ring up one of the big boat builders, ask what the availabilty of a 50ft boat is, when they tell you what is available and they ask if you have seen one before.. pause say "no" do you have one on show at Excel, or similar they say "yes" and you get VIP tickets...

Alledgedly....

Re: So, who is going to Exel then?

Going to do the final speck for a new pred 92s I am managing the build of then skippering for the next 3 years Mine should have been the boat show boat but I decided to take the next hull and keep the carpets clean.
 
We're going Thursday late morning. Late night thurs and the stands usually put something on. Last year on the sunny seaker stand it was moulin rouge theme and someone with hula hoops. Next time I saw him he was on x factor. Not that I watch x factor. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
I will be there with SWMBO next Monday, 12th.

Will certainly be taking a look at the Fairline stand, already have my courtesy tickets and VIP badges!

Really like SBS, but I must say I am looking forward to the LBS this year! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: So, who is going to Exel then?

Seems that a few are going then, thats good.


After the flop of Earls Court - although I see in MB&Y it was a success??? - I'm right up for a day at the show.

With all the gloom and doom about, and the BBC news making everyone reach for the sword upon which to fall on , I'm ready for a bit of boating sort of thing. Really looking forward although I hate Excel with a passion.
 
Hopefully there this Sunday with SWMBO and Mr & Mrs MartynK, not looking for anything in particular just a good day out
 
me and about a half dozen other freeloaders,courtesy of.....? a well known and well regarded british boat builder.
 
Saturday for us...looking forward to it as always /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Never really understood the moans and gripes it seems to attract from some quarters..... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
