The Boat Jumble is being run by the Scottish Maritime Museum and full details of the 4m x 4m pitches, participation rules, and a booking form are available from: Scottish Maritime Museum - call 0141889-1013, or email clydebuilt@ scotmaritime. org. uk Pitches are £35 per day, plus a returnable £35 deposit, all of which must be lodged seven days before the event.

A novel way to get to the show is to travel by water and passenger boats will be operating between Falkirk High Rail Station (on the Glasgow to Edinburgh line) and the show site. This may be a glimpse into a future when people will be commuting into Glasgow and Edinburgh by canal boat.

Of the approximately 35 exhibitors (at the time of writing) more than 20 are boating specialists, offering craft ranging from canoes to sailing dinghies to canal cruisers.
