Friday (preparation day) started bright and early, for some!  MGM,our boat builders, have their newest creation nb ‘Snails Pace’ at the show.  Another very lovely boat designed specifically for owners Ann and Chris and their dog Maisey May.

After a busy day we returned to ‘Chance’ to do our own cleaning and tidying along with our neighbours Julie and Russell.  We all had bangers and mash for dinner aboard ‘Chance’ before attending the evenings entertainment in the marquee at the show ground…..

…. there were a lot more in attendance but James forgot to take a pic. at the right time – having too good a time to remember!

Saturday was the first day of the show and we were up and ready, with the boat dried off (from last nights’ rain) and all spick and span.
