For uni clubs, Easter is often the first big trip away for the new members, for many it might be also the first time they have attended a uni club event. One of the problems with running club events with new members is that both the new members & the ones running the event may not recognise each other. It might be easy if the new members are being picked up by existing members from a central location, it completely different if the new members are making their own way to the venue, banners, obvious club T-shirts etc, all make it easier for the club to gather at the one location.

Nothing worse for someone new to turn up to an event and not find the club they are looking for, except asking at every tent in the campsite and in my experience the new member is just as likely to go home rather than run the embarassment of asking for help locating their club.
