Festivus 2024
Please reserve your calendars for the 23rd of December, 2024 at 19:00 – We invite our members, and your guests, to attend our annual Festivus party!
The evening will offer several exciting events, including, but not limited to,
- deployment of the Festivus pole – a bare aluminium pole, serving as the evening’s décor.
- Festivus dinner – bring food, share it with others and eat.
- the Airing of grievances – likely to offend so probably won’t happen.
- feats of strength – typically wrestling, but PowerPoint Karaoke will be available as an alternative.
Note: Do we want to do something instead of powerpoint karaoke this year?
What is PowerPoint Karaoke? Do not fear – there is no singing (unless you really want to). Simply prepare a slide deck about a topic you deem interesting, as if you were to give a lecture. If you choose to accept the challenge, a slide deck will be provided to you, which you must then present as professionally as you can.
What is a Festivus dinner? Bring some food with you and put it on the table for people to enjoy. The same applies to drinks! Rumour has it that there will be ample supplies of hummus and vegan chilli. If that sounds terrible to you, bring something else!
Aside from eating, drinking and the PowerPoint Karaoke, the agenda remains intentionally sparse. Bring your favourite boardgames, vintage video games console, or something else weird. I’m sure we will all have a fun time regardless of what we get up to.
For reasons which do not need to be stated, the use of tools while under the influence of alcohol is strictly forbidden!
We hope to see you at our Festivus 2024 Party!

Food
To avoid bringing ten turkeys and one carrot, it might be a good idea to list what we intend to bring. We should also be aware of what allergens might be in what we bring.
