As we get closer to the start of the season, various shows are looming up. The boat show has been and gone, but there are some more coming up. How about?

• The RYA dinghy show – Alexandra Palace (3/4 March 2012)
• The Used RIB show – Hayling Island (30 March – 1st April)

Or, if you’re more of a jumble fan, how about?

• The Essex boat jumble – Ardleigh showground (26th February) or
• The mother and father of all boat jumbles – Beaulieu boat jumble (29th April)

Any members interested in a trip to the dinghy show?
