Dress as you turn up to CTC for POC

Post by alex h »

Hi guys,

Just a quick question. It's been so long since my 2002 POC that I've forgotten what clothing is expected when you turn up at the gates i.e literally what you wear to enter CTC, walk down to the Mess and the grots? Silly really, but I assume it's a suit?

Also, does anyone on a recent POC know about lecturette prompt notes? A few words to prompt? An A4 sheet? What's allowed? We were allowed scripts in 2002.

Thanks, Alex.

I think a green one would probably get a better reaction.

How about a maroon lid with the Globe and Laurel?

What about going in a dog costume while on a scooter or dressed a bunch of grapes? :P

Blimey, this thread seems to have unlocked some strange disturbing Jungian archetypes!
