Southampton Boat Show 2013

[MalcolmP]

I have just come back from seeing the set-up going on at the Southampton boat show - really amazing that the current chaos will be all sorted by Friday, but I am sure it will. The Jeanneau's are all in pride of place, looking splendid.

I will be at the show most of this Friday and Saturday and probably quite a few days next week.  Would be good to see some faces from the Forum - you can probably track me down on the Bruntons Propellers stand G071 in Ocean Hall or give me a call 07810 594732

Malcolm - have you got any hot tips for finding a hotel room? I'd like to try and fly out there for the show for two or perhaps three days but had trouble finding accommodations that didn't require a mortgage on my house last time around.

You are right at Boat Show time the local hotels of all standards get booked up early. A few years ago we had to go out as far a Chichester (an hours drive) to be able to get anything affordable. Best bet would be somewhere like Basingstoke (where nobody wants to go to..) but does have quite a few hotels and you can get a fast train into Southampton. 

I will also PM you

Hope we can meet

cheers
