I was thinking of hiring a pub for an evening. Can't cost all that
much for only four hours-but getting it together is like wading in
treacle. There's always The British Legion.

Did you win the lottery or something? Renting a pub would a) cost a
fortune
and b) you'd never find a good pub who would close for a private party in
the middle of tourist season.

The lake cruise sounds good except there's the risk of the whole newsgroup
going down like the Titanic.

Only strong swimmers would be allowed, then. Or people with enough body fat
to float, I suppose. (I'm in on both counts, I guess.)

Especially those on mini-crossers. And all the
women would complain about being cold after ten minutes (max).

__all__ the women? Excuse me. I'm the one who swims in the North Sea without
a shiver. And Edith - well, we've swum together in the Oslo Fjord and it was
just gently bracing. WE wouldn't complain about the cold, would we Edith?
We'd just drop overboard and make the rest of them look like wimps.

But there'd be no point in hiring a launch unless there was a good number of
people.

Actually, we've done something like this on a Belfagan Weekend Of Dance, now
I come to think of it, and we didnt' have to take over the whole launch: we
just booked the right number of tickets in advance. The boat was nearly full
of morris dancers, which was a hoot, with all the melodions and concertinas
playing. The few tourists who managed to squeeze on as well seemed to see it
as an unexpected bit of free entertainment, which they mostly enjoyed. I
hope.
