Beale Park boat show got cancelled today but will be on tomorrow. Having driven up from Plymouth and checked the website at 8am and again at 9am I was somewhat annoyed to find that I arrived at 10am to be told by security guards that they made the decision to cancel it at 9.45am.
I appreciate how difficult such events are to put on; and how much fantastic work gets done behind the scenes but I'm pretty sure that someone could have made the decision earlier! At least I hadn't travelled all the way down from Scotland like the poor gentleman I gave a lift back to the station had done. He had to be at a wedding tomorrow and so this was his only day. My heart really felt for him.
I hope they are able to put on the event tomorrow. It is always the highlight of my boating year is Beale Park. Sadly I had only today and have other engagements tomorrow. A tank and a half of petrol! never mind, there is always next year's event. I wish the organisers good luck for tomorrow and I really feel for all those exhibitors who have lost a day's earnings in a very tough economic climate.
