So was Earls Court Boat Show, the upstart, the face of winter shows in London? The jury will probably remain out for another twelve months once we have seen Excel in January and Earls Court have had another, more organised stab at it. Amongst exhibitors the feeling for the show was positive with many already committed to next year.

Our huge stand took days to lovingly construct:

...and was dimantled in about 35 minutes.

Thanks to all who worked on the stand, helped us out, bought a book, drank some beer, downloaded a weather forecast, dropped in to say hello or otherwise made it a fun 10 days in Earls Court.
