Every year we hold #CommsCamp, we have a curry night. Beers and baltis in Birmingham, Bradford, Salford, Sheffield or on your sofa, as we did in 2020.

Anyone who has a ticket to either day of CommsCamp is welcome to join us on Tuesday 21 September at 7pm. It’s a chance to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and take part in the not-quite-legendary quiz.

As last year we’re doing the whole thing virtually so it’ll also be a chance to see the tech set-up we’re using before CommsCamp kicks off, although I’m sure you’re all rather used to using Zoom by now!

What’s occurring?

Whilst the football didn’t come home this year (for those of us in England at least), the curry will. So, order yourself a takeaway (or if you want to show off your cooking skills, knock something up in your kitchen), grab yourself a drink and join us on Zoom at 7pm. The link will be sent out to you nearer the event time so you can join the social.

When your curry arrives, take a picture of your dinner for social media and share what you have online using the #commscampstillathome hash tag; we want to see colour, size, volume and variety, and find out where to get the best curry across the comms camp family.

Is there a quiz this year?
Yes, of course there is, kicking off at 8pm after we’ve all finished our curries. You’ll need pen and paper and a knowledge of random topics. Emma Johnson from Essex County Council won last year. Who will be wearing the crown this year?

As ever, if you can’t come to the event and you have a ticket do cancel it so we can re-distribute it to the waitlist. If you’d like see some of the pitch ideas for what we could discuss head to the commscamp Facebook page.
