Tram Party on 8 Oct
Our next social activity is the Tram Party on 8th October. A tram which is red in color for 25 people will be traveling from Whitty Street of Sai Wan. The party lasting for 2 hours will start at Whitty Street Tram Depot (near Hill Road) at 6:30pm, and people should arrive the tram depot 20 minutes before that. It is costing $120 per person. We advise people to bring food and drinks to share on the tram. Interested people please contact our social secretary Jade at social@lantauboatclub.com. It is one of the highlights in the year where people can meet and socialize with one another in a tram rather than at the beach.
