Will all attending please aim to get to the Thames Hotel by 19:00 (earlier if you are checking in) there is a large car park at the rear of the hotel and we will meet in the bar (naturally [;)] ).
The boat will depart Maidenhead riverside at 19:30 prompt.
Bazz
It is still not too late to join the fun, if you are still debating email or PM me by Thursday latest (for catering) we still have room available.
Bazz.
Date: 25th September, time: 19:30 to 23:30 hours, venue: Maidenhead.
Knowing how v-flyer's love upgrades, I have got our vessel upgraded to a Steamer the 'SL Belle' a beautiful wooden boat!
I don't have time to post a picture before I fly to LAX so here link to the website, please navigate to SL Belle for pics, etc.,
This event is for v-flyers, their partners and/or guests.
Price quoted for the boat and a Jazz band is 850 this will accomodate up to about 80 people so somewhere over 30 would be good.
Food:
Bar-be-que would be 14.47 per head
Finger Buffet would be c. 8.50 per head, both plus VAT + 10% service charge
And here is a sample Finger Buffet menu:
Self Select Menus
SS1 8.50 + VAT + 10% SC
Selection of Cocktail Sandwiches
(Cheddar and Tomato, Honey Roast Ham and Mustard, Beef and Horseradish, Egg and Cress, Salmon and Cucumber)
Assorted Mini Quiche
(Pizza & Olive, Salmon, Quiche Lorraine, Boursin, Herb & Almond, Roquefort & Walnut, Sausage & Mustard)
King Prawn in Filo Pastry
(With Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce)
Spicy Chicken Goujons
(A Chicken fillet coated in Cajun seasoning)
Mature Cheddar Puffs
(Puff pastry filled with melted Cheddar)
Fresh Crudites with Dips
(Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumber, Carrot, Celery, Broccoli & Cauliflower)
There is a 10% Service Charge to all Catering and Bar Accounts
So doing the math, if we had 30 people it would cost between 45.33
(Jazz & BBQ) and 35.66 (Disco & Finger Buffet) per head. (+10% service charge on the food)
Booze is not included in those prices so you need to factor that in aswell.
Here is the bar tariff:
BEER AND LAGERS
Whitbread Best (Pint) 2.60
Heineken (Pint) 2.70
Premium Lagers (Bottle) from 2.60
SPIRITS
Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Campari 2.10
Malibu, Pernod, Rum 2.35
Southern Comfort 2.35
Port, Sherry, Vermouth 2.25
Late Bottled Vintage Port 3.25
Liqueurs/Brandy from 3.00
Remy Martin/V.S.O.P./Single Malts from 3.00
SOFT DRINKS
Single drink 1.00
Mixer 0.75
Minerals (Litre) 2.65
Orange Juice (Litre) 3.00
HOUSE WINES
Spritzer 2.35
Wine by the Glass 2.60
Obviously if we had more than 30 the price per head would drop but conversely if it were fewer the price would rise, I guess at 30 it just about makes sense, below than number, probably not?
