Those planning to enjoy Canal Boat Holidays in England this year will have the chance to pick up a wide range of supplies at the 56th London International Boat Show, starting tomorrow (January 8th). Running until January 11th, the event will allow visitors to pick up clothing, equipment and electronics from hundreds of suppliers, while those in attendance will also be among the first to see the wide range of new boats about to hit the market. Organisers are hoping to get as many people on the water as possible, meaning anyone can climb aboard the Canal Boats to experience them for themselves and chat to experts ready to take questions. Youngsters will also not be left out as many deck games are on offer that are both fun and educational. Earlier this month, figures published by the Residential Boat Owners Association showed there has been a 25 per cent rise in the number of people living on Narrowboats in the UK during the last year. |
