See also Preparing for a Weekend, a general guide to things you might need to bring for a weekend show like York/Tintagel/Hastings/DAS.

Committee types should read How to Organise Term Activities for lots of advice on when & how to run events in term and How to Organise Freshers' Events for stuff about the start of the year.
