4. Abacus Boat Party
https://www.facebook.com/events/1555680178001090/
Cambridge’s ABACUS and Oxford’s OUAPS – and this year Warwick’s Chinese Society – welcome you on board the Dixie Queen, London’s largest entertainment and party boat.
The top deck will be for all the clubbers out there 😉
There’ll be plenty of entertainment on the lower deck. Poker tables, blackjacks, a live band, a saxophonist, a magician performing all night, photographers, chocolate fountains, calligraphy… you’re spoilt for choice.
We’ll be cruising past key London attractions including the London Eye, Big Ben and London Bridge.
This year’s theme is Monte Carlo. Think class, casinos and conviviality!
VIPs will be treated with a champagne reception, priority access to the chocolate fountains for the first hour and a group of six VIP ticket holders will be able to reserve a table. Each VIP will also be entered into a raffle for a bottle of Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne Brut.
The Boat Party is the highlight of the ABACUS calendar. You do NOT want to miss out on this party!
