Having suggested that people should bring some party food to share, I've been asked about what kind of thing should be brought, and to what extent people should attempt to coordinate. A highly experienced "large party participant" (thanks Jeff) suggested that I provide a list of suggestions, which guests can volunteer against, so here it is. Please volunteer a foodstuff either in the comments for this blog, or by return email - I'll update the list so that people know what's already been covered. It's basically finger foods, cold collations, typical party fare, as we have no reheating facility.
Note: I'm moderating the comments in case someone writes something amusing that I want to steal, so your comment won't get posted until I check and allow it.
Of course, this is only a list of suggestions - if you have a good idea, or something you especially like that's not on the list, please bring it! And just because someone's snaffled something, doesn't mean you can't bring more - there are 50+ people coming, so it's all good.
If anyone is vegetarian, has food allergies or other special requirements then it would be helpful if you could let us know, and we can make provision for it. Or of course, you can bring something suitable for yourself.
Finally, please bring something to drink that you're going to drink - if you're driving and will drink soft drinks, then bringing some would be handy. We'll have a drinks chilling facility, probably involving a swimming pool and ice!
