Preview Birmingham Boat Show

摘要

The Boat & Caravan Show seems to have a new name every year, but we'll always know it as simply 'the Birmingham Boat Show*.rnThis down-to-earth event in Birmingham's NEC is a far cry from the glamour of the London Boat Show one month previously, but none the worse for it. The organisers claim 250 boats on show. Though this tally is bulked up by canoes, kayaks and jet-bikes, there's still a modest number of affordable steel boats and river cruisers, albeit fewer than last year.rnAdd the stands from the equipment companies you'd expect, and it makes a useful day's browsing for Midlands-based boaters getting ready for a summer's boating. Don't just confine yourself to the Boat & Marine Hall; venture into the realm of the caravans, and you'll find equipment equally suitable for inland boats.
