‘We're keen to hear from as many interested exhibitors and members as possible regarding their potential involvement in the new features and attractions,’ said NBS MD Andrew Williams.

‘Due to the timing - summer holidays and Skandia Cowes Week - we'd like to extend the deadline until Monday August 20, giving as many people as possible the chance to get in touch,’ Williams told BB. ‘We're looking forward to working closely with members and exhibitors to shape the features to ensure that the 2008 Collins Stewart London Boat Show is one of the most successful and enjoyable ever.’
