Is it ok to bring down on to the indoor pool my two son's model boats to run briefly or do you have to be a member of a club? Regards, Dave.

We have an abundance of clubs,in fact 6 new ones this year and a host of private exhibitors on display.
We also have a pool for sailing and a host of the best traders in the country and a few new first time traders.

What more can you ask for in Blackpool ....from Fresh caught fish for your fish and chips to a tram or horse draw carrage to a ride on the Big dipper,Blackpool Rock and plenty of shops close by to keep the better half occupied...see the famous Blackpool lights at night...what more can you ask for.

Please don't ask for a list of traders just look at the previous show threads on Blackpool this will give you an idea who is there....as Organisers we can not be held responsible if a trader cant turn up on the day due to illness etc

Spud

Yes, and, from the form that you use to tell the people running it what to expect -

Commission option chosen – ALL commission paid to RNLI
10% from sold price or 7% of asking price pre paid, £...............non refundable

Pretty much anything can be offered except livestock and perishable goods.
Last year we gave £421.85 to the St Annes station.

I am on my Way to the show see you there

JIM WORNER · « **Reply #33 on:** October 12, 2015, 10:52:57 pm »

Coming on Saturday with 3 boats for the sale. Are there any arrangements to put the sale boats in on the stand before doors open? Trying to hold boats in a queue without damage is not a recommended sport!
I have not found anything about this on the site, and apologise if I have missed it.
Cheers Jim W

Stavros · « **Reply #34 on:** October 12, 2015, 11:14:30 pm »

YES of course you can bring them along on the FRIDAY and get them signed in ...this ALLWAYS is available at the Blackpool show as the Blackpool Club are manning the stand...details of the terms of sales have already been put up earlier...

We will be at the Sports hall till around 6pm at the LATEST on the FRIDAY.....if you are bringing the boats on the sat then simply have a word with the girls on the door....there will BE NO ADDMISSION between 9 and 10 on the day of the show...we should be there at around 730 in the mng on the sat but later on the sunday !!!!!

I was there today setting up our club stand and looking at the amount of cars on the car park (11.50am) it will be interesting to see if there is enough space for the exhibitors and public visitors. I can't see the Sports centre losing money by closing but I do hope I am wrong about the amount of car space.
See you all there.
Cheers,
Faz.

just got back from a weekend in Blackpool

went to show on Saturday and then the lights at night followed by fish n chips

cant be bad ...... venue was fine , parking was easy , i got there about 9.45 sat am

did not take many photos only a handful

JIM WORNER · « **Reply #45 on:** October 18, 2015, 09:14:21 pm »

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but why was the pool shunted into a cold side room? Also no where to sit and chat and watch the action on the pool. Only a remote upstairs viewing gallery and sadly no catering on site. Concensus among our club was "Thank you for the try, but not again in this venue"

Evening all, just got back from having a weekend away at Blackpool including the boat show. Arrived there Saturday morning at 11 am and the car park was full to bursting so parked on the road side (no different to previous years). The first impressions of the hall was a 100% improvement over the Norbreck, warm and well lit. I can understand why the pool was in the side room with a concrete floor due to water issues on a polished sports hall floor. The lack of catering was a slight issue as I hadn't brought my dinner with me and there wasn't any obvious local shops nearby. Enjoyed looking at the models on display the only fly in the ointment was the amount of empty tables, its sad to say I had a shopping list, money in my pocket burning a hole, but couldn't find what I wanted. Hopefully next years show will be better as any issues with this years show can be improved upon. I did hear talk of a certain gentleman emigrating so I don't know where that leaves the organisation of this long running show.

Went my self with the father inlaw, we arrived at 10.30 and found that car park just about full, there could have been some better parking some vehicle were taking up a space and a bit, having said that we enjoyed the show, got the motors I needed from components had a great chat with one chap at Hull model boat club about his trawler builds, but the lack of a cafe/ eating area was a shame.
A decent amount of traders and clubs.
Overall we enjoyed the visit and hope with time it will get bigger and better.
Found a great fish and chip shop near by called the cottage wow what a plate full mmmmm.
