Crick Boat Show 09

[Tiny]

I Love those "oggies"

 

Our local canal shop sells one big enough to be a meal for two - made in Atherstone.

 

We might pass by but won't be going to the show.

Chris

 

Btw Kedian, will have a chat with you there about an idea !

[nb Innisfree]

Anyone going? or bring a boat down?

Apparently BW have banned trading on the towpath at Crick this year, if that's true I think it's a shame as it helped to create the right atmosphere. BW

are said to be responding to complaints from show traders about unfair competition, could they (BW) have charged a fee or something similar rather than just banning it? seems to be yet another nail in the coffin.

[BlueStringPudding]

Yeah! On the Monday. No boat though, just feller.

[DHutch]

Another year i wont be making it. Although i will be at chesterfield on the sunday with the boat. Which will be on the canal all weekend.

[lemontoes]

I'll be going with the family. We thought it would be a good place to look at lots of boats as we are hoping to buy in the near future. The comments about the show don't show it in a favourable light, but as we have never been to one before we have nothing to compare it with..........and to tell the truth we are quite easily pleased if there are boats involved.

We are glad about that, cos it would block the tow path if it was out of the canal

I'm guessing you mean Canal Boat mag in which case the answer is almost certainly they'll be giving something away and offering special prices so wait for the show.

I don't think Canal World forum does any subscription deals. Mind you I can think of a few 'The Collected Replies of Carlt', 'Galvanic Isolaters - your questions answered, Vols I, II, III' etc

'The Collected Replies of Carlt',

Now that Chris w is suing me for libel I am accepting no responsibility for any of my replies.

 

All my comments are plagiarised from elsewhere on the net.

The point was making (badly) was that although it may not be at the rally for the saturday, it will be on the canal (somewhere) all weekend making its way there.

My mooring next door neighbour has took his new boat it is one of the showboats keep a look out for it, NB Miss B Havin. Tell them to hurry back as I am having to make my own brews.

[NB Alnwick]

We are already at Crick and have our tickets and, apparantly, an online mooring - if anyone is around from Thursday afternoon through till Monday, please feel free to come and say hello.

[cheshire~rose]

We popped into "Kate Boats" yesterday and one of the girls was sitting on the floor with piles of literature and flyers which she was stuffing into carrier bags.

 

I suggested "Ah you must be preparing for Crick" - I was correct!

 

They have not been there for 3 years and assured me that whenevr they attend it is a beautiful weekend weather wise so hopefully it will mean the show has a better year this year.

 

Shame we will miss it!

[tinca steve]

Hoping to be there Saturday , so if any body sees SWMBO and myself (raspberry ripple with Tenchfishers badge on my coat) stop me and say hello as it would be nice to put faces to names.

[Peter R]

Sounds like there's going to be a few people around. Let me guess - beer tent around lunchtime?

[Dale]

This will be our first time and looking for a boat for the future, we will be there Sunday!

Back from Crick on Saturday evening and we are cream crackered, a superb day that we both thoroughly enjoyed. Weather as far as we are concerned was the best day, Sunday hotter than Saturday but not as cool as Monday.

 

As for the boats----- WEELLLLL I very nearly bought a 57 footer there and then but was informed by SHMBO '' Where are you going to put it ! ! !'' I really wish I had a mooring lined up.

 

 

WE are now looking forward to our next outing and I am now looking for a mooring opportunity either on the Lee / Stort or G/U somewhere between Hunton Bridge area up to Tring area.
