The evening was welcomed with sun shining while a group of about 70 people arriving at 6.00pm. Our journey began along the Prince Street Bridge where we boarded the boat before heading off towards Bath.
After being seated, the evening started with drinks and nibbles being served accompanied with happy chats / getting to know each other on board. This was followed by a welcome speech by Hannah Hedinger who enlightens us as to how the evening would enfold. We had the privilege to have Transition Band on board the cruise performing some songs and music for our enjoyment.
‘Transition’ Rock Band (www.transition.tk) from UK have been touring the UK extensively as well as playing in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. Their music is an audacious blend of passion, energy and finely crafted arrangements. The soaring melodies and rich harmonies are fused with the creative backbone of a surging rhythm section.
Dinner included a variety of delights being served, including rice with sausage, a range of pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, quiches, pizza puffs, salads as well as vegetarian and halal options. Dessert was served shortly after, with an irresistible choice of cheese cake, Black forest gateau, apple lattice, chocolate cake.
Following dessert, we were entertained with more music by the very talented band that included a Chinese song! It was a very pleasant evening enjoyed by everyone with laughter if not smiles. We came back to Bristol at 9.30pm docking by the Watershed where we say goodbye to each other. BISC Leavers’ packs were also being given out as some are sadly leaving Bristol.
Our final event for this term will be the Farewell Garden Party at BISC on Wednesday 18th June.
