Welcome to the Hogs Ball at Llamedos Holiday Camp

What is Llamedos Holiday Camp all about then?

The Llamedos Holiday Camp is a Holiday Camp like no other.

For a start, it's in a hotel, with a bar and a spa!

You, the potential guest, are invited to come and spend a weekend in a little place in Llamedos on the Discworld. Yes, in a bit of the Disc.

You will treat the place like you live in Ankh-Morpork or Uberwald or Genua, Four-ecks or elsewhere on the Disc and become a citizen on holiday.

All the activities are the kind you would find in a holiday camp if they had actually existed in Llamedos.

Imagine being judged in the Witch Trials by Granny Weatherwax herself or entering the Nobby's Knees competition, singing on stage at the Talent Contest or winning the Dragon racing!

All this and much more may happen at the Llamedos Holiday Camp, but it will only be really fun if you all take part in as many events and activities as possible.

Of course The Hogs Ball is a special time of year, when sausages and turnips are adorning tables, and trees are decorated with hogs and pies. The activities change to the theme of the event, and whilst The Witch Trials and The Dragon Racing will not be returning, there will be other things in their places.

And with the Camp in full prep mode for The Big Day itself, the campers will need to be working together to make sure they are on the Nice List for when the Hogfather rides in and leaves presents for those who made it.

I don't vant to be alone!^*

For new campers, coming to an event like Llamedos Holiday camp can be quite daunting on your own. Even with a friend, it can be quite challenging not knowing what to expect or if you'll make friends whilst you are there.

This is where our tried and tested genealogy / geology / familiariology / wemadeitupology system comes into play.

Many returning campers know how well our system of families / caverns / scout regions has worked at our past events especially for those coming along on their own for the first time and will be wondering what is the crack for The Hogs Ball.

Well, wonder no more!

[Insert drum roll here]

Families are back!

The most festive time of the year wouldn't be the same without your family surrounding you, fighting with you, playing with you, competing with you… against the other families of course, for the converted honour of being "The Best Family"!

This time around we have 7+1 families for you to choose to be a part of, or you can choose "Rwby's Choice" which will mean our camp director will choose for you.

Each Family will contain up to 19 Campers only.

The Families attending this time around are:

• The King Family
• The Cutwell Family
• The Ironfoundersson Family
• The Dibbler family
• The Bluestone Family
• The Von Uberwald Family
• The Garlick Family
• The Malick Family

The campers really are your family at Llamedos Holiday Camp, the seasoned campers share all the traditions and help the new campers fit into the Camp.

One thing about our families is that they are very supportive of their fellow family members, but they are also really competitive, in a lovely friendly way.

We will be pushing out posts about the families and how YOU can fully become a member of one in the next week.
