2009 Earls Court Boatshow - Cancelled


2009 Earls Court show - Cancelled

By IBI Magazine

The 2009 Sail, Power & Watersports Show (formerly the Earls Court London Boat Show) has been cancelled, according to IBI's sister publication Yachting Monthly.

Instead, the show's managing director James Brooke plans to run a British Leisure Show next spring at Windsor Racecourse, as well as a marine-based show at London's Earls Court in November 2010.

The Earls Court show should not be confused with the London International Boat Show, which returns next year to the Excel exhibition centre in London's Docklands from January 8-17. The show is organised by National Boat Shows (NBS), a division of the British Marine Federation (BMF).

"Over the last two years we have directed over £5m of investment to promote the marine industry through our shows at Earls Court," says Brooke. "As we continue to increase the level of investment, it has been essential to fully understand the new challenges facing many companies within the marine industry in 2009 and beyond."

"We look forward to returning to Earls Court in November 2010," he says.

The 1st British Leisure Show will run in the spring next year, on the banks of the River Thames, at the Royal Windsor Racecourse from March 19-21. The show will incorporate an extensive range of products from all leisure sectors, including marine, aviation, classic & sports cars, bikes, caravan & camping, health & fitness, extreme sports and more.
