Opening the doors early for those with babies / young ones either at home or popping by for a visit
Please note there will be NO MINORS permitted after ~8:00PM
8:00PM - Raffle & Speeches
Please plan / try to arrive BEFORE 8PM
Everyone who has RSVP’d will get a raffle ticket - collect from Thor (or Rebecca) at some point when you arrive
Get additional raffle tickets by bringing some donations for the food bank (some = more than 1 can) OR some warm clothes!
We’ll be raffling off some random items from the retail shop & more :) Nothing too exciting, but exciting enough to be worth showing up before 8PM for :D
8:30PM - 1:00AM
Eating drinking and merrymaking!
1:00AM
If you’re looking to party past 1AM we encourage you to plan a guest list or a move to one of the pubs around the corner on main street
We have to begin cleanup & prep for 12 days of Christmas workout the next day, so if you’re still around after 1AM you may get put to work helping pack up :P
COVID Restrictions & Requirements
We have 100 people RSVP’d for the night - for many this is their first big outing post COVID, and that’s awesome - but also a little terrifying! So please be respectful that everyone is in a different place coming out of this pandemic <3
Many PHO Restrictions do not apply to our event since it is a private event - but we will be enforcing our own rules to do our best to keep everyone safe as well as minimize the amount of garbage / waste produced.
Proof of double vaccination required for ALL entries
for +1s please make sure they have submitted proof of vaccination in advance (ASAP) via the online form: www.rncty.ca/vax-form OR by emailing it to [email protected]
Respect the designated areas
This is both for COVID & cleanliness - certain areas will be very obviously blocked off. Do NOT go behind / past walled off areas.
The OG is for Bathrooms & Breathers Only
The party will be on the Annex, but we’ll have a path to the OG for bathrooms
We’ll also have a small designated & lit area on the OG without music and a few chairs where people can go if they’re nervous or just ‘need a break’ - please be respectful of anyone choosing to hangout over there, don’t crowd them etc. Sometimes we all need some space <3 Please do not ‘party’ or make a mess in this area.
Food Rules & Reminders
Potluck Items
Please bring something that is easy to eat from a small plate
No dips or things that need to get dipped; sauce etc is ok if it gets poured over the food - but no shared dips please
We will have tupperware available for leftovers so you can make sure to bring your dishes etc home with you at the end of the night
Label your food (optional)
There will be a pen & label available if you want to make a note on what your dish is and/or if it’s vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.
No loitering above / around the food (or booze)
The table for food will be off to the side with barriers to limit any loitering around the food
Please do not stand around / over the food table - fill your plate and then move to one of the standing tables that will be spread around the gym
Booze Rules & Reminders
There will be ZERO tolerance for drinking and driving
If I (Thor) even hear a discussion of someone considering it or saying ‘they’re not that bad’ or ‘they’re fine’ consider your membership cancelled immediately and you will be billed the cancellation fees before you wake up in the AM. Period.
If you are driving - let us know when you arrive and a coach can help you move your car into the underground parking and you can come back for it in the morning.
Label your cup & keep it all night
You can pick your cup on entry when you will also write your name on it - this is your cup for the night! Don’t lose it :)
Drink the open bottles first
I know ya’ll are probably a bunch of wine snobs - but please refrain from opening a new bottle every time you want to pour yourself a glass :)
We’ll provide chase and mix
We’ll have a table full of standard chases and mix - if whatever you’re bringing requires something special / weird, maybe bring that too
No Loitering around the booze
I know everyone wants to hangout in the ‘kitchen’ but please don’ty - everyone talking & hanging out around / above the food / drink is the biggest COVID danger of the evening - pour your drink and move back out to the floor :)
See you Saturday!
Thanks for taking a minute to read the riot act! If everyone follows the simple rules then we should have an incredible (and safe) night for everyone to enjoy <3
