Formal Hall

  • We used to hold this fortnightly, such that we’d aim to do three or four a term.
  • Organise by getting someone at a given college to contact their hall manager and book in for a group of 20 or so. Or if you have several members at a particular college get each of them to book in several guests.
  • Exeter provided us halal meat and we booked through the hall manager.
  • Some college provide us with vegetarian food.
  • For booking we had 5 of our members each book for 5 guests giving us 25 spaces.
  • Demand is normally so high you can raise the price above cost price and raise some money for the ISoc.
  • Segregation sometimes comes up as a point of contention. Our particular stance was to not enforce anything. Those who wanted to sit with just the same gender did so, those who wanted to mix did so.
