Annual Dinner

What are you going to be doing on the evening of Tuesday, 3rd March? That’s right, you’re getting dressed up and coming along to this year’s Annual Dinner. The venue will be the Upper Hall in Peterhouse. Tickets are £22, and will be available from Matt Nesbit at any society meeting between now and the one-off session on the 25th. This price assumes that Peterhouse are going to charge us V.A.T. - they didn’t last year, and if they don’t this year, we shall refund the difference (so keep that receipt handy). A vegetarian option is available, as is a choice between mead and wine - let us know your preferences when you buy the ticket.

Dress code:- Costumes or Black (tie optional), but no real weapons will be allowed. No 🔫 , no 🔪 and absolutely no 🦆.
