Annual Banquet Weekend
Every year, TT holds a banquet, preceeded by the Pre-banquet Bash (PBB) adventure, at Little Abington Scout Camp (just south of Cambridge). The banquet/PBB weekend is usually the first weekend in December (around the 5th or 6th) - just after the end of term.PBB
The Pre-Banquet Bash is an extended linear or series of several linears, usually taking advantage of the space of the wooded scout campsite to bring a major plotline to a close over the course of a full day. It is usual for everyone to get the chance to character at some point during the day and so there is much changing of kit, however the PBB generally offers the opportunity to do things which are more epic than possible in day-to-day linears. For example, on one year the city walls of Grantabrugge were defended enmasse from a rolling attack by orcs, on another the character party got involved in a mass battle between two groups with fixed trebuchets.
Banquet
The banquet involves a meal in several courses (removes) in one hall of the scout buildings, with ceilidh dancing between each remove in another of the halls. The banquet is not IC but the dress code is 'larp costume': the default being fancier or formal versions of TT kit, such as dresses/corsets, robes, frilly shirts or armour.
Although we sell tickets to cover the costs of the food and band, and have some guests who are not regular attendees of TT, the banquet is still a community/society event as with all others - so as with other events regular society participants are expected to contribute in some way to logistics such as clean-up (eg: please remember that the small number of people who organise the banquet are not 'hosting' it personally for everyone else).
