Sports Boat and RIB show 2008

If anyone is going to be there (3 - 5 May) please come and say hello - we will have the race boat and our 6 metre there - not sure if we'll be doing demos as it depends on the weather and the rules!

Phone numbers are on the website if you want to call first - it's free by the way!

I will be making a trip down for this. It will be the first event like this I have ever been to, so not sure what to expect really!

Sounds like a good weekend though!

I'm afraid you'll have to ask Sports Boat and RIB that one - I am led to believe I have a special offer as a writer for the magazine - just depends on how special they think I am!

Also good to meet you John. Very impressed with the boats but in my daughter's case outweighed by getting the photo of us taken on your boat and the prospect of getting it in the local paper!!

Good luck with the business and the racing.
Roger

It was good to meet you too! If you can try and get the paper can you post the article up? Always interesting to see what they make up for a story!

It was good to meet a few others as well from Pontoon talk and Boatmad as well as Ribnet

A few photos turned up in Tuesday's copy but of other boats so looks like it ended up on the cutting room floor!
