I was sorting out my picture files the other day and found some photographs of the first Stowe Hill open weekend we attended with Black Bess - we had taken her over two weeks before. Pete & Julie Hill held the open weekends during the weekend of the Crick Boat Show and was supported by as many owners as possible. We had been to the Boat Show in 2003 to have a final look around some other builders and then visited Stowe on the Sunday. We placed our order for BB about 7 days later - a huge decision at the time but one we have never regretted.
The following pictures are of the 2004 weekend meeting and show what a great sight it was. The 2005 meeting was the last open weekend as the business had then been sold.
