Cornwall Boat Show floods Lemon Quay
The first annual Cornwall Boat Show in Truro sponsored by Truro Chamber of Commerce proved a huge success.The boat show with a Titanic themed tearoom had thousands of guests over the nine days. Boats on display and vendors selling marine related merchandise helped make it a successful experience for everyone involved. David Tandy of Follet Stock Solicitors and Chairman of Truro Chamber of Commerce said, �It has been exciting and fun sponsoring the first ever Cornwall Boat Show in Truro. I am proud of the work put in to it by Nigel Parriss and everyone else; it has truly been a joint effort. I look forward to seeing next year�s Boat Show and to see it grow bigger and better.� Many activities took place throughout the week, children were awarded prizes for their artistic talents of drawing the Titanic, a business networking meeting took place on Tuesday evening with a special reading of a poem about the Titanic written by a 17-year old girl in 1912. An auction was held on the last day with everything inside the tent being sold including the carpet. Nigel Parriss of Truro�s House of Fabric and a Trustee of the Truro Chamber of Commerce said, �This proved very successful and just goes to show people that it can be done. I am happy we have had such a brilliant turnout and it was great meeting a wide mix of people.
