Every year (except last one. Oops.), CLS holds a banquet, preceded by the huge and fantastic Pre-banquet Bash (PBB) adventure, at Emmanuel United Reformed Church on Trumpington Street. The banquet/PBB weekend is now the 7th February.
The banquet is CLS's answer to an Annual Dinner (held by most University Societies) and involves a meal in several courses, with ceilidh dancing between each course, in the United Reformed Church on Trumpington Street The banquet is not IC but the dress code is 'larp costume', usually the fancier stuff. Partners and friends who are non-larpers are very welcome and people are often happy to lend out some kit for this.
Members of other Larp Societies are warmly welcomed.
The Ceilidh will be suitable for beginners and will be called by our (formerly) very own Jacob with music from the Band Formerly known as the Big Round Band.
The food will be catered by Crucible Catering, aka Rosemary Warner and David Proctor, who suddenly needed a name for themselves (menu to be finalised shortly). Any and all dietary requirements can and will be provided for, just tell us on the form.
There will be some mead on the tables as part of the ticket price (roughly enough for about a glass each), and a lot of nice fruit juices. If you'd like more mead you can order and pay for it as part of your banquet booking. If you'd like wine or anything else, you're very welcome to bring your own. If you don't want a whole bottle, ask if people want to share. IC drinks containers are encouraged!
Since we're in a church hall, there is (obviously) nowhere for visitors to sleep. We can provide crashspace and some of it might even have actual beds in. Please indicate on your booking form if you need somewhere to sleep, or if you can provide any crashspace, so we can match people with houses.
If you're not a regular TTer, coming down on Friday, attending the interactive, staying overnight somewhere (crashspace will be available) and going to the PBB and Banquet is the best way to get the maximum Cambridge TT experience for your weekend.
Prices are £33 before the early booking deadline and £38 thereafter to encourage people to book in time for the caterers to organise the food. (For our student members, the price is around the average price for Society annual dinners and unlike us, they don't include a Ceilidh *and* a massive adventure.)
You can book online now at: http://tinyurl.com/larpbanquet15 ; payment is by bank transfer (see booking form for details), in cash or cheque to us at an interactive, or PayPal? (if you must) to rjw76 [at] cantab.net (sorry, paypal requires £1.50 extra to cover their fees) are all possible. Please pay before January 25th to get the early booking price.
If you have any questions, please let us know at larp-banquet@srcf.net.
Thanks,
