Tickets can be ordered up to midnight on Thursday 14th January. They can be printed at home, delivered by post, or collected at the Show.*

A single transaction fee of £1.75 applies whether ordering one or any greater number of tickets.

Youngsters 15 years or under go free (up to two per accompanying adult) provided tickets for them are requested when ordering adult tickets.

The above phone number and website are for orders of less than 10 tickets. Group orders for 10 or more tickets (still at the same price) can only be made by telephoning National Boat Shows ticketing agency, Seetickets, on 0871 231 0828.

*Because tickets ordered via postal delivery could take up to 7 days to arrive, those purchased shortly before the show can be collected on arrival from the advance ticket box office at the main entrance. The most expedient option, for those ordering tickets over the Internet, is to use the website’s 'Print at Home' facility.

The East Coast group's Winter Meet will be on Saturday 25^th Feb at Haven Port Yacht Club, Levington on the River Orwell. We assemble at noon with the expectation of eating at 12:30. It is a pub lunch so not necessary to book but it will be helpful if people call or email Eric Orme at least a week before hand so that he can advise the club how many to expect. Email ormeric@gmail.com

Eric also requests that, after his 12 years in the role, another East Coast member will step in to take on the task of being the local organiser.

In 2012 we shall try to organise a southern event, which will be more convenient for members from Belgium (and perhaps the UK?) to attend also.

We are spread quite far and wide with members on both the East Coast and West Coast, the Great Lakes, and British Columbia. Because of the distances separating us, we have not made plans for a rally this year, but I am open to suggestions and ideas how to better become interactive. Perhaps some regional "drive-in" meets are in order. Please let me (Rob Johnson) have your ideas.
