RIVERBOAT CRUISE REPORT & PHOTOS
Kevin writes: As we set sail under lowering skies, few of us realised we were taking part in an historic event as Scott Kelly unleashed the full force of his catering skills upon the boat's crew. Given his footballing allegiances, one wag pointed out it was a teddy bears' picnic but that was to ignore the uniqueness of the event.
For possibly the first time in history gloriously tasty food was being offered at the same time as an appetite suppressant. How so I hear you ask? I am reliably informed that the food was of such quality women were asking for the recipe. This simple request was met with the jocular response of “You’ll have to sleep with me to get that information”. Foget Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares, this is Scott Kelly’s Bedroom Dreaming.
Sadly, the food was not enough to put a notch on Scott’s chopping board, so you might need to get some German sausage in for next year mate.
The cruise took us upstream as far as Fulham FC and downstream to Greenwich. This was not quite what I had expected but there may well have been an issue with the tide. As dusk fell the riverside skyline became quite fascinating but not for those brave souls who gave it laldy for the Scottish country dancing. Strip the Willow is a dance that gives itself to complete mayhem and Saturday night was no exception. As for the Gay Gordons, like Scott Kelly’s bedroom, lets just not go there.
A big thank you goes out to the members of the committee who put in so much effort, both in the lead up and on the night itself. If you are a member and you weren’t there, you missed a great night but there’s always next year. Now, who want a ticket for St Andrews Night?
