Banquet at Ruthin

The conference dinner was a mediaeval banquet at Ruthin Castle.
After exploring the castle we were taken to the banqueting hall and sat down on benches. You start with a plate, a dagger and a goblet of mead
The serving wenches brought 4 courses: soup, then lamb on the bone, then half a capon, then syllabub. All were delicious, even if we did struggle to find a way of eating them.
It turned out that the serving wenches were also singers, bringing us songs in Welsh like "Men of Harlech", "We'll keep a welcome", etc. One of the delegates was also prevailed upon to play the spinnet and sing a song

During the speeches and presentations I was given a BCS mug and a certificate for chairing a session.

And so ends a happy conference
