After 12 tasty years, we are taking a pandemic holiday to restructure. Our current plans are to evolve with how the social world is changing with the aim to launch a new programme with fabulous new partners, experiences and people to meet in 2022
In the meantime, if you would like to keep in touch, my personal facebook page is facebook.com/xNikiStone
Description:
This is the 3rd year that we will be hosting at this event and it is a fantastic day out!
The Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race is steeped in tradition, taking place annually since 1829, as well as fierce rivalry between the 2 universities. Each year’s race attracts a crowd of around 250 000 people, and a BBC audience of over 6 million!
The atmosphere is one of fun and relaxation as the event swarms with people, all of whom are out to have a great time soaking up the sun, enjoying the array of foods and drinks available, socializing and OF COURSE – people watching!
Join me as we walk 1/2 of the 4 mile course, along the banks of the River Thames, starting at Putney Bridge and finishing in Barnes. (If you like, you may keep going to all the way to Chiswick Bridge.)
