Pink Punting 2007, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
12 August 2007: Pink Punting 2007
Each year there has been a traditional event in Cambridge and after much deliberation, this year is no exception! Form at quickfind:302918
FRIENDS:
Feel free to bring your friends, and/or your children (over 10 years old, please)
DRIVERS:
There should be enough of us with punting experience to provide muscle-power (ooo-er!), but I hope everyone will have a go. It's not difficult once you have mastered a couple of simple rules. However, if you just want to lie back and think of England, that's OK, too!
LUNCH:
There are some pubs, and a tea room, at Granchester, but from past experience there are usually long queues, so it will be far better to bring your own picnic stuff and drinks. One person usually brings along a wind up gramophone but do feel free to bring along mp3 players and speakers though, if you don't mind, adapt the music to the style of the 1920's-1940's please to create a relaxing atmosphere.
LATE ARRIVALS:
It is not possible to reserve punts. It's first come, first serve, and if the weather is good, there's likely to be a big demand. This why I have suggested meeting no later than 09:30am. If anyone is *definitely* going to come, but knows they will be late, it might be possible for someone to hire a punt and sit in it until you arrive. But it will have to be paid for from the time it is hired, and it means you may be separated from the main flotilla.
If you are going to be *very* late, you could join us at the picnic site at Grantchester. There *may* be spare room in the punts for you to return to Cambridge with us, and
COSTS:
The current 'on the day' rate is £90 which will be £15 for each occupant and that is regardless of whether you travel one way or go all the way! There is a cheaper advance booking of £80 but that takes a gamble with the weather. You may choose to pay by the hour but as this is £18 this may not be such a good option.
MESSAGE BOARD:

Please feel free to join (I hope it works) and share your helpful titbits with other punters!
I actually cannot make it this year, my very good friend Ian Stone has taken over for me. If there are any questions, do contact me and if need be, I shall pass you on to Ian who will be dealing with things on Sunday

UK weather is rubbish. I like most people, dislike chavs. I have a voluntary job to build up a good CV and hope to one day have a career. Happy in love with Deej, have loads of friends, need more girlie friends. Got 4 kids all nearly grown and left home now. Just had my second mid-life crisis and planning a third
