At the end of each meeting, the lab would organize a banquet for the scientists. After lots of serious meetings, this dinner was a time to finally relax. That being said, these banquets got pretty rowdy, I remember one-year potato guns were popular; people were sneaking around and pelting each other. Potato guns at the Banbury Conference Center were particularly messy as the starchy potato bits smeared every window in sight. Another year squirt guns were the weapon of choice! Things settled down in the late 80’s, but until then the banquets were sites to be seen.
