Sprout burning ritual? Sounds fun :) We once had to actually use the regulations in the society constitution about duelling - with baguettes. Stale ones. I forget who had insulted who (probably the President demoting the Vice-president, as usual).
Perhaps we should form an Oxbridge Alliance of, um, Slightly Mad Societies (and their alumni), and support each other in lunacy so that the flame does not burn out. I am reminded of Dougsoc at Oxford, which did eventually die as a university society, but lives on as a formalised social group and a mailing list or two. I never managed to join before it vanished, though, which I regret. Anyway, I hereby appoint myself (since my President is several thousand miles away in Japan, and the Vice-P will say yes anyway) CLOTS Ambassador to Sheila; formal diplomatic relations between Sheila and her Dog and the Most Glorious Republic of CLOTS (under his Grace Duke Simpkin of Hertford) are requested :)
