As you can see from the logo we have extended the show to include the leisure element, this has been as a result of requests to exhibit from companies and to ensure we have visitors new to boating requested by some exhibitors.
The other major change is location, we have moved the show to Portland Marina for the main part and included The Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy who will have the dinghy and wind surfing equipment on their ground.
The move was necessary to meet the increased demand for stands, bigger stands and primarily to be able to offer good quality berthing for boats on show. At Portland Marina with have over 200m of “Med Style” berthing available.
We will be able to offer “Try-A-Boat” to the public and at present we have several boats available from a small sailing boat to a large yacht, a R.I.B. and a good sized motor yacht - more needed, so if you want to include your boats please show them on the booking form.
We have arranged with our marquee supplier to supply 6m x 6m marquees for the same price as last years 6 x 3’s which we have passed on to give our exhibitors more space for the same money.
For the 3 x 3 marquees we are putting up 2 15 X 9 marquees and dividing them up, this has allowed us to reduce the price for exhibitors requiring this size and will give a good show hall atmosphere.
I hope you agree that these major changes have all been taken to give the exhibitor a better show ground and the visitor a better experience and the opportunity to stay longer and enjoy more exhibits.
We have extensive marketing plans and intend to have a band and a BBQ to make it a great event going on into the evening.
