Monday, 19thHM Queen Elizabeth II Funeral & Show Arrangements

Due to recent events, British Marine has taken the decision to close the show on Monday, 19th September, to observe the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II and allow exhibitors and guests to have time and space to do so as they see appropriate.

As such we will not be running the Foredeck Stage and will not run our Safety talks on this day. Please do let me know if you are able to facilitate another day as we do have some open slots which are available within the schedule and can certainly facilitate on a first come first served basis – these are in the schedule marked as ‘pending confirmation’. If they are of interest please do let me know directly by return.
