The 3DC crest: three beasts chasing in a circle
A Proclamation of The 3 Drunken Celts

Be It Known

unto all gentles, and to such others as may wander in, that We, The 3 Drunken Celts, a party planning organization of no fixed dignity, founded in the year 1999 and tasting since the year 2000, do by these presents proclaim, ordain and otherwise announce as follows.

Whereas whisky, whiskey and whiskies are good, and this is not in dispute;

Whereas it gets dark in November, and somebody ought to make use of it;

Whereas a party does not plan itself, though We have waited to see;

And Whereas We are not a club, and wish that written down somewhere official;

Now therefore We do decree

The Grand Tasting

to be held in Our camp at Great Western War, upon the night of Friday, Nov 6th, 2026 in November, commencing just after dark, and concluding when it concludes.

The 3DC camp at dusk: a red canopy hung with lights, a table of bottles and the 3DC banner
The Court, awaiting its subjects. The canopy is ceremonial. So is everything else.

The Articles

Article the FirstThat one bottle of whisky shall admit its bearer and up to three companions; and that none shall attempt the arithmetic of five.
Article the SecondThat only whiskies shall be seen in camp, being spirits of the grain, from any region; and that all other drinks be confined to the small table by the door.
Article the ThirdThat there be no politics in camp, whether medieval or modern, on pain of the street.
Article the FourthThat each shall mind their own shite, physical or emotional.
Article the FifthThat any may ask for help who need it; and that those who can shall give it, when it is asked for.
Article the Sixth, being also the FirstThat none forget the funny.
