Please do not go to Wigram as no-one will be there.

Please take the time to review Dining-In Protocol:

General Rules:

• Follow all instructions from the PMC and Vice PMC (A/PLTOFF Sies and OFFCDT Howie).
• PMC stands for President of the Mess Committee – they will be the main speaker for the evening.
• Be respectful and sensible. We will have guests from Southern Area HQ.
• Be vigilant – don’t make a fool of yourself by spilling food or tripping.
• Use your “sir’s”, “ma’am’s” and address the appropriate people by rank.
• Use your table manners.
• Do not eat until your whole table has food.

Passing of the Port (AKA Toasts):

• Passing of the port is a traditional part of a formal dining in. It will happen after dessert.
• Non-alcoholic port is served and cadets pour themselves a drink in respectful silence.
• The port jug should be passed around the table without being placed down until everyone at the table has been served.
• Do not overfill your glass as everyone needs to have some.
• Once everyone has some port, everyone stands and toasts are made.

Cadets will engage in a diverse range of physically and mentally demanding tasks to measure their acquired skills and teamwork abilities.

The aim of this Exercise is to apply the skills you have learnt and to enjoy a weekend filled with friendly competition, all strivingfor ultimate glory.
