Things we like
Notice: As the site cancellations continue, Lancaster has been confirmed as defunct for 2024. The current Lancastrians are working hard to preserve and pass on Lancastrian tradition this summer, albeit at Carlisle. Carlislian tradition is also at risk of dying out, and the Lancastrians are very keen to bolster Carlisle’s tradition as well as preserving their own. If you are interested in the Lancastrians' mission and/or want to get involved, a discord server made by Lancaster's position holders from session 1 and session 2 is linked here and open for you to join. |
Different sites, different traditions, different things we like. Some of these things are pure CTY; others go by site.
