Southampton's Boat Show is on from 11th - 20th September 2015 and again is expected to draw huge crowds. This is the 47th year of the show in the city, where you can buy anything from a multi million pound yacht to a canoe! The Red Arrows will make an appearance on Saturday the 12th. Many people take a taxi to see the show as it is easier than driving and parking up yourself.
You can find the taxi rank outside the show in Herbert Walker Avenue - look out for the white taxi cabs!

The Southampton Hackney Association (SHA) welcome the latest Royal Caribbean Cruise Liner, The Anthem of The Seas.
Southampton Port will run an inaugural season of cruises to the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Northern Europe.
This is the third largest cruise ship in the World, and Godmother of the ship is 27 year old British Travel Agent Emma Wilby. Giving a ship a Godmother is a long held maritime tradition. The Godmother's role is to officially christen the vessel, and in Emma's case she will also sing a special song for VIPs at the ship’s inaugural ceremony on 20th April 2015 in Southampton.
The SHA are looking forward to welcoming the new Britannia Cruise Liner this year. 45 White Taxis from the Southampton Hackney Association (SHA) and others will be advertising the Britannia on their cars for a 3 month period - look out for the advert! The idea to support the cruise liner in this way was arranged by the SHA committee.
Are you travelling on the Britannia? Why not pre-book a tour or journey with one of the Southampton hackeny Assocaition members?
Click here to find out more. This could be an excursion or tour of London, Bath, or Winchester. A transfer to and from your hotel or any other trip you require.
The Southampton Taxi Trade welcomes the 45th Year of the Southampton Boat Show, we hope that the exhibitors do well and that the good weather attracts visitors.
The taxi rank adjacent to the Boat Show is in Herbert Walker Avenue by The Holiday Inn Hotel. There are discreet signs, but as you come out of the show look left and you should see the hotel!
Getting around whilst The Boat Show is on, is easy if your use one of the city's licensed taxis :O)
Looking for things to do over the Summer holidays, and an easy way to get there?
Why not approach one of Southampton's taxi drivers (in the white licensed cabs at taxi ranks around the city) and ask for a quote to be taken to Paultons Park or Marwell Zoo and other summer school holiday attractions?
Often it can be cheaper to take a taxi than public transport, when there are several of you sharing the ride. Plus of course there is no waiting for buses or trains. With a taxi you go door-to door!
Take a taxi - see a girafe this Summer!!
Fathers Day is on Sunday 16th June....are you wondering how to treat your Dad?

This year Mothers Day falls on Sunday March 10th, why not use one of Southampton's white licensed taxis to take your Mum out?
A trip to The New Forest or even just within the city to a restaurant, theatre or museum is all the better when you travel in style and don't have to worry about driving!
The white licensed taxis of Southampton include larger MPVs, traditional white London cabs and up to the minute saloons, meaning that everyone can be catered for whether you are a wheel chair user, a large group or if it is just the two of you.
To make it even easier, you can hop into a white taxi at one of Southampton's taxi ranks or by hailing one at the roadside.
