It’s quite unusual for a caster's patronus to be their favourite animal, but very possible that it will take the shape of a creature they’ve never before seen or heard of. — Amy

UCAB* | ANY* REP | "Country" Week-End

What: Rowle Annual Country Week-End
Who: Hosted by the Rowle family, specifically Robert Rowle and Sybilla Rowle, for the right sort of society people each year. This has traditionally been influenced by Algernon Rowle's preferences, who is in power at the time, and Robin's work connects. The formal guest list is here—please check before deviating!
Cost:
Where: “The Castle”, Nevis Range, Scotland

It used to have a proper name, but it’s been in the family for literally hundreds of years. This “country home” of the Rowle family is actually a castle hewn into the Nevis range in Scotland. Muggles who get too close will feel a distinct sensation that they have forgotten something terribly important, and livestock left to graze nearby are occasionally eaten by Algernon Rowle’s prized lions. Each of the married Rowle children have their own wing within the castle added on when they marry like some sort of weird Encanto deal.

Why: #Tradition
When: July 19th-23rd
FRIDAY: Guests to arrive after lunch; tea and the usual accompanyments will be served throughout the afternoon in case you get peckish, though. Formal dinner in the evening, followed by cards, parlour games, general loitering, etc.

SATURDAY: Married ladies will, of course, breakfast in bed. Unmarried ladies, gentlemen, and weird married ladies will start the day with breakfast. Following this, the men will go hunting while the ladies will do... lady things? See the list of general amusements below. They will meet the men for lunch in the wilds, if they so choose. Formal dinner. A famed soprano has been brought in to sing for everyone in the evening.

SUNDAY: A more casual day with informal meals, owing to the ball in the evening.

MONDAY: Depart after breakfast.

Throughout their stay, guests may engage in...
  • Organized tours of the castle or take an unauthorized one away from prying eyes
  • Riding (horses provided)
  • Falconry (BYOB—bring your own bird!)
  • Badminton
  • Pall Mall
  • Tour the gardens, including a hedge maze
  • Various parlour games and other typical indoor activities
  • Assorted instruments in public areas of the dwelling
  • Hide in your room like a weird loner
  • Go for a bit of a ramble
Basically, it is a shockingly large number of people invited to one "house" for a weekend, more intimate than general society but still very much A Party of sorts.

UCAB | REP 7+ | BALL

What: Black & White Ball
Who: Upper Class society ft. MC ministry/hospital VIPS, not sure, just ask!
Cost: n/a
Where: The Malfoys' London Manor
Why: These girls gotta marry
When: July 31st, 1894

The Malfoys are hosting a ball, because Merlin, these girls gotta go. The theme is black and white with gold and champagne accents. Inspo! Debs should wear white, everyone else can choose! A typical ball in many aspects, there will be fireworks at midnight and the back garden will be charmed to be dull in color so that the white flowers stand out. Guests may appear "black and white" as if they were in a photograph while outside, but will return to normal upon reentry to the house (this can totally go awry if you like!)

MC/UC YOUNGISH SOCIETY TYPES | REP 5+ | COCKTAIL HOUR

What: Sanditon Cocktail Hour
Who: Hosted by Camilla Prewett
Cost: No
Where: The Sanditon's Restaurant
Why: I needed a location for a thread Camilla thinks the Sanditon is an excellent location for drinks + gossip after being busy being pregnant last season
When: July 26th

Camilla cast a wide net at this one so she could fully catch up with society. The cocktail hour is really cocktail hours; it begins at 6pm and runs until 9pm. The restaurant is serving appetizers but nothing substantial/intensive. The lighting is "mood lighting."
