OCEAN ROWER
WANTED!
Justin Coleman is looking
for a likely partner to join
him in his attempt to row
the Atlantic Ocean in 2017.
No experience is necessary,
ideally you’ll be either in the
UK or able to get here easily
(there’s quite a lot of training and fund rasing to do).
Justin isn’t a total novice at
this, he did attempt this several years ago. The attempt
will be part of that year’s Atlantic rowing race and will
have full support and back
up. See page 88 for more information.

If you have a business that
you would like us to feature
on our stand, then, please get
in touch. We can represent
overseas companies without
them going to the expense
of travelling to the UK.
Beale Park Boat and Outdoor show is a superb event,
especially in the last year or
two. It had some criticism
leveled at it for having lost
its way with the boating side
of the show and become
just a general country show.
However, for the last couple
of years a new organiser has
been at the helm and they
have been very clear in telling us that their prime mission is to bring the show
back to being the UK’s best
self build and alternative
boat show. On the evidence
of last year’s show they
are making great progress.
Please put the dates in your
diary - it will be the first
weekend in June and tickets and details can be found
