Portsmouth Boat Show

01 May 2006

Dear Sir, Re your article on the forthcoming Portsmouth Boat Show 2006, to be staged at Gunwharf Quays Marina in June, I wish to disassociate myself with the remarks made in your April edition, that my company County Exhibitions Limited, which is organising and promoting the event, or the Gunwharf Quays Marina management, have any intention of competing with the Southampton Boat Show, which covers an area many times that of the area available at Gunwharf Quays Marina for such events.

Dear Peter, Amidst all the heated debate on the London Boat Show, and the performance of BMF/NBS, there is a risk of forgetting that the Federation is more than just a show organiser.
