402. Crick Boat Show 2024 - All About Boats and Paws
The Crick Boat Show is the largest Inland Waterways Festival in England and took place over the Bank Holiday weekend of Saturday 25th to Monday 27th May. Visited on the Saturday, it was a glorious day and a real delight for Sally and I to meet so many viewers, boaters and vloggers.
Many viewers say hello to us on the video, so please look out for yourselves and thank you all for your ongoing support and encouragement, it means a great deal to both of us.
A feature of this year’s show was a sponsored beard trim by Gary Phillips (of Chugabug) and Derek Watts, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The Show is a great opportunity for prospective boat owners to view new boats, have a boat handling session, attend informative seminars and find out about Inland Marinas. The event included free boat trips, music festival, beer tent, boating marquee, food and craft tent, chandlers, food court, clothes retailers and a whole host of varied and interesting exhibitors including the Canal and River Trust and the Inland Waterways Association. This video gives a flavour of what went on.

Greetings Bill, sorry we didn’t get to meet properly, I actually thought you were visiting on Sunday though may have mixed you up with someone else. I’ve looked at the video and do remember you saying hello, it was a bit frantic, as there were so many well known faces about. I hope you enjoyed the show and liked your cameo appearance. Best wishes from both of us, take care.
Sorry I missed you at the show. I was there until 7pm Saturday with good weather thankfully. My boat needs a new engine but hopefully will be up and running again. Love the vlogs.

Boat show ?, the vast bulk is the boat market from those making them or others with their stalls selling parts - services for them. Yet you are obliged to pay to enter this market (?) should a retail estate do the same the place would be empty.
