After years of threatening to come I havebooked the train tickets so there is no turning back this year. I am planing to be there both days so you won't be able to miss me.:)
As if we would try to miss you Angus! 8)
You probably won't be travelling as far as Angus...but if you're thinking of coming to the Dinghy Show please volunteer for a short stint on the N12 stand. Please post on here and let us know which day and what rough times you can be around so we can arrange a bit of a rota.
Hope to see you at Ally Pally!

I will be there early on SAturday (my train gets in at about 7) and late on Sunday (My train leaves about 9) So happy to help almost any time except probably Sunday morning as i will be coming in from Reading.
Angus...remember to wear your kilt and dont go frightening little children, they are potential crews you know!
Does that mean I am not allowed to smile:(
It's not your smile we will worry about if you wear your kilt Angus!
Should be down for ten or so through to about 4 on the Saturday happy to do a couple of hours Chris, bringing John Cheetham with me so you can probably rope him in too.8)
Yo! I plan to be there on the Saturday. Px :K)
A very big thank you to all those involved in putting up the stand, setting up boats and manning the stand and takedown over the weekend, it was hugely appreciated. The weekend went well, we might even have sold the pipedream which was on show and there was plenty of interest in the second hand boat list so hopefully that will show success in the next few weeks.
Overall it was particularly busy on the saturday but if feel that the sunday might bear more fruit with new owners from some of the in depth conversations we had.
Once again, thanks!

I had a great weekend. The most amazing thing was how rapidly the whole show was dismantled. In minutes the Hall changed from what is was to a rapidly clearing hall. I got the feeling if you stood in one place too long you would end up wrapped in cling film and chucked in the back of a P&B van.:-/
