Introducing the ‘On The Water’ Bus
in association with Boatshed.com

With the success of British sportsmen and women in sailing, canoeing and rowing during the Olympics and Paralympics, the time could not be better to encourage new and more people into boating.  

The BMF and Boatshed see a great opportunity to inspire young and old to get on the water, by giving them access to people who have "been there and got the t-shirt".  The role of the Bus is very much educational with the emphasis on learning about how to get on the water and inspiring people to get on the water.

People will be able to talk with a range of experts and ambassadors from different water-based activities from sailing and paddling to inland waterways and powerboating. Our boating experts will be available onboard the bus for a couple of hours at different times during the show. A schedule will be available online at www.southamptonboatshow.com/2012 and http://www.onthewater.co.uk/, so visitors can plan their day.

The Bus will be appearing at a range of different venues across the country including the PSP Southampton Boat Show and Tullett Prebon London Boat Shows, as well as a range of local events in the UK.  We are looking to create more on the water activities for 2013.

If you would you like the bus to assist your region or organisation put on an event, or to get involved with this exciting initiative – come and talk to us on the bus or contact Michael Luke on 01784 223617 or  mluke@britishmarine.co.uk
