Getting ready to party
Monday, July 5, 2010 Just spent the afternoon sorting out the details of next week's boat party on the Thames. With the help of Ranald Macdonald (MD of Boisdale) I have been choosing the wine, the food, and confirming the band.
I have also been in a bit of a panic because we are VERY close to capacity. So far 210 people have registered to attend. Any more and we're going to have to put them on a reserve list.
Exceeding capacity is a problem because on a boat there are strict rules concerning maximum numbers. It reminds me of the party we hosted in Bournemouth at the 2006 Conservative conference. There must have been 400 people squeezed into the ballroom when hotel staff began to refuse people admission, citing 'elf and safety.
How ironic if Forest and The Free Society have to turn people away (again) for the same reason.

I trust that you will all have a jolly time. Can we have an event on Manchester Ship Canal next time? Hey up!
