Consisting of Dessert! And Revelry!
Eat a light dinner before you come. Bring a plate of finger-food or dessert - sweet treats, fruit or cheese are all perfect; a bottle of cordial would also be great.
The site will open at 7, and kick off properly around 7:30 with a set of games and dances. The rest of the evening will be devoted to music (performances, serious or silly, practiced or impromptu), dancing (again, both serious and silly), board-games, gambling games, and games of unadulterated silliness. There will be a break in the middle for dedicated, concerted eating, with plenty of opportunities for casual eating throughout.
Beware: Mistress Katherina has medieval sources for everything from nose-wriggling competitions to egg-races. Merriment shall prevail, decorum be damned!

Gear
I won't need a whole lot of stuff - some tablecloths, cleaning box, banners, platters, etc. Since it should all fit in one car-load, I'm happy to collect and return to the quartermaster - no need for extra budget.
