Milden Hall 2018

The Tudor barn, Milden Hall

In 2018 we met at Milden Hall in Suffolk – from dinner on Wed 3 October to breakfast on Tue 9 October.

Weekend guests

As in 2016 we had guests for the weekend and a barbecue on the Saturday evening. We also held a Sunday q masterclass for our visitors.

ee Camp QB for details.

Dining

Lunch in the kitchen, 2016

Miki and Susanne were again our in-house chefs, working with local produce, ales and Miki’s own honey and marmalades.

Programmers can’t go a week without pizza, so on Fri 5 Oct we dined at the White Horse in Edwardstone, a mere 3 miles away on Milden Hall’s bicycles. (Reportedly shorter on the way back.)

Accommodation

Accommodation was varied. Our standard is the student study bedrooms of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where we first met. Beds are single, bathrooms shared. At Milden Hall most rooms were nicer than Trinity Hall. Some of us stayed in more comfortable rooms about 10 min drive away.

Apologies to those who will be unable to join us. Part of what makes the house party work is mixing different ages and experience. Every year we fail to invite some well-qualified and eligible people who would make great contributions.
