Crick boat show

[Mrs Puddleduck]

Really excited to be doing our first narrow boat show. Remember how exciting Earl's Court was for many years and then became same old same old. It does do you good to do something new.. Any advice re 'best bits' xx

[Anna_Licorice]

It will be our first show also. Very excited.

You will need more than one day to do it all, we do all three days.

Get your name down early on the viewing lists for boats you want to see.

Agree with Bod. Get there early on day one and spend the first hour making appointments to view boats. Or email or ring the boat builders before hand to make appointments.

The catering is expensive, bring a packed lunch!

Their website talks about booking Seminars at the Show Information Point. Does it open on Friday evening? I desperately need to get into the so many of the seminars. Any advice?

[Bod]

Get there early.

It's a small site, but gets a lot of visitors.

Wellies and sun cream, both are normally considered a must! Remember this is an English bank holiday.

The most important advice if going for the day is agree with your travelling partner that you will drive there - bad traffic, sleepy, any reason will do - and partner can drive back otherwise you will not get to sample a good selection of beers.

 

Second point, after sampling beer, give partner credit card/cheque book if going near any interesting stands...............
