Boat Party specifics

  • Important: Oxford specifics, when is their coach? When are their committee getting there and helping with decorations? We need their mobile numbers. Tell them to tell their members to meet at 7:00pm. Are they guest-listing?
  • Coaches
    • Sean proposes the booking of another 50 seater as we have -4 spaces on the coach
    • Cost of 50 seater is £375, and will be booked
    • Total coach cost: £1395
  • Stage size
    • 20 ft wide, 25 ft deep (12.5 ft when tables are on stage...), 7ft high

Events of the night

  • Oxford ideas:
    • No to warmup games
    • No to musical chairs (too much like speed dating)
    • No to a salsa teacher, but perhaps salsa dancers
  • Best dressed
    • Put ribbons (rather than stickers) on the best dressed. Whoever has the most ribbons wins.
    • Classier than stickers and fits in with the black tie theme
  • Fashion show
    • 9/10 girls have signed up, have to bring own clothes
    • Clare Xu organising it
    • A box? Annie mentioned something about not having a step
    • The back might not be clear if the tables are there, there is a side room which will fit 5/6 people. Feasible or not?
  • MC'ing of the night
    • Oxford proposed to bring two MC's too. We are fine with that and may split the evening into half and half
