Practical Information
This event is taking place in a large tea room, in the centre of Glasgow. Although we have the Salon de Luxe to ourselves, there will be other patrons using the building.
​
The event starts at 2pm. Please arrive promptly, and in costume.
​
what will happen during the event?
We are going to have afternoon tea & discuss politics.
​
There will be some short speeches, and a call to vote on several key topics put before the Society.
​
We will gather to take a formal photograph.
will i have to make a speech?
Every player can decide their own level of involvement in the event. As in real-life meetings, some people are very vocal, and some sit quietly just taking it all in. There is no wrong way to play this game.
do i need to know everything about the setting?
You should be aware of the basics. Take a look at our page describing Glasgow in 1913 (coming soon).
However, you can choose how much your characters knows and cares about current events. You might play a character who is knowledgeable and interested in politics, or you can play one who knows absolutely nothing and is only coming to the meeting because her mother is dragging her along.
does my costume need to be authentic?
We are aiming to look like a Women's Society from 1913. However, we do appreciate that not everyone has the funds or skills to make perfect kit.
​
We are not aiming for historical perfection, rather we are aiming for something that looks mostly right.
​
Check out our costume guide (coming soon), and keep an eye on the facebook page for more information.
can i get changed at the venue?
Due to the limited time we have, and lack of any large storage space, please come to the venue already dressed in your costume (as far as is practical). Small items may be stored, at your own risk, in the powder room just outside the Salon de Luxe. There are 2 toilet cubicles in the powder room, and several sinks with mirrors. It is not practical for 30 people to get changed into costume on site.
