Celebrating 100 Years of the Labour Party
on a Thames riverboat cruise

Bank Holiday Sunday 2 May 1999  1pm to 5pm

We sailed from Butler's Wharf, Tower Bridge aboard the MV Eltham, owned and crewed by City Cruises of Rotherhithe. We enjoyed a full buffet meal (chicken curry and a vegetarian curry - collecting it meant we sailed past Rotherhithe a pleasurable four times) - with wine - and music throughout the cruise from Swing Dixie Five band. We sailed past include the Houses of Parliament, the Millenium Dome, historic Greenwich and the Thames Barrier. People brought their whole families from children under one to parents over 70. All this was included in the price of the ticket - just £25 and kids went free.
It was a great trip, a great atmosphere, great music, good food and drink (a licensed bar too), and good company, and the tickets and the raffle helped raise hundreds of pounds for the Labour Party in Southwark and Bermondsey and in Rotherhithe.
