SBS Diwali Bop 2009

A bop is essentially a themed party at Oxford and last weekend, we celebrated the Diwali Bop. The following is a marketing idea that we ended up not using... it didn't matter in the end because the event was sold out. The bop was a spectacular success and so I'm leaving this unused advert here as a memory...
