Halloween Costume Deconfliction Meeting
Thursday, 15 October 2026
A short meeting will be held at the chapel to coordinate costumes ahead of this year’s trick-or-treating.
The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that no two participants are wearing the same, or similar, costumes. This is required because we will all be visiting the same houses, and residents may reasonably assume that a second Dracula arriving is the first person returning for additional sweets.
All proposed costumes must be declared at the meeting and will be entered onto the chapel costume register.
Where two or more participants propose costumes which are substantially similar, the committee will work with those people to determine who would look best as that character.
Once a costume has been approved and entered on the register, it will be treated as allocated. Other participants must not wear the same costume, a similar costume, or a variation which could reasonably be mistaken for the already allocated costume.
Failure to attend this event will result in the person concerned forfeiting any claim to a particular costume and accepting to wear whatever alternative is decided by the committee.
Anyone arriving on Halloween in an unapproved or conflicting costume will be required to change before joining the festivities.
No exceptions will be made on the evening.
Please bring full details of your proposed costume, including masks, hats, capes and significant props, but do not wear it to the meeting.
