 Our annual award ceremony/AGM/party, normally taking place after the final show in Trinity Term. See [[http://oules.tlear.co.uk/flosscars|Flosscars]] for more information.
+===== Anything else I can do to help? =====
+Well, if you happen to be a hospital, school, retirement home or anyone else who would be deserving of our attention, situated in the Oxford area (i.e. within easy bus ride or are able to come and fetch us), and have an area suitable for a bunch of students to prance around in, then let us know, and we'll do our very best to get to you. Please contact our [[mailto:liason@oules.lightentertainment.org|Homes and Schools Liaison Officer]].
+Alternatively, if you've got a real knack for scenery-building, costuming, songwriting, etc but don't want to act, we'd love to have you on board as well!
+===== Hey, you said there'd be a duck! =====
+I lied.
+====== Other Societies ========
+You might have come across one or other of the various societies affiliated with OULES at some point - there are quite a few of them! Here's a few of them explained.
+===== What's VOLES? =====
+What it stands for is another question: originally it meant "Vacation of Light Entertainment Societies" being our summer holiday. Nowadays, there seems to be a consensus that it meant at one point "Varsity Of Light Entertainment Societies" (being Oxford vs Cambridge) but then Sheffield had a Light Entertainment Society and we could hardly say no to them so now it's "Various Organisations of Light Entertainers": referring to Oxford, Cambridge, Sheffield, and anywhere else with a Light Entertainment Society.
+Whatever VOLES does stand for, it always means lots Light Entertainers from lots of places and often means we're up to something (in a good way!). Maybe it's VOLES New Year, Summer VOLES Parties or VOLES Varsity: or maybe something completely different. Who knows?
+===== Ok, what's ALES? =====
+"Alumni Light Entertainment Society" for those who have grown old but not up. It's not strictly Alumni-only, just those of that generation.
+===== And CULES? =====
+"Cambridge University Light Entertainment Society". Like OULES but in Cambridge.
+===== USLES? =====
+"University of Sheffield Light Entertainment Society". Like CULES but in Sheffield.
+===== What about OODLES? =====
+"Oxford Old Duffers Light Entertainment Society" A group for people who should have left Oxford but haven't and still want to do Light Entertainment, or people of that generation.
+===== What about POODLES? =====
+Four legged creature. Fluffy. Barks.
+===== What is Questing Voles? =====
+Questing Voles Productions produce a show for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival each year, comprised mostly of Light Entertainers. See [[https://www.questingvoleproductions.org|their website]] or [[https://www.facebook.com/QuestingVoleProductions/?ref=br_tf|facebook page]] for more information.
+===== Ok, that's pretty neat- wait, did you say Varsity?!=====
+Yep, we have Light Entertainment competitions with our friends from Cambridge and Sheffield. It seems to change every time, but the way it worked in 2014 was like this:
+We performed the a four-act OULES version of Dracula with points allocated for various (increasingly dubious) reasons by the totally impartial judges.
+Act 1: the Oxford cast
+Act 2: the Cambridge cast
+Act 3: the Sheffield cast
+Act 4: a mix of the Oxford cast, the Cambridge cast and the Sheffield cast, switching by call of the judges.
+It's all for the honour of Light Entertainment Everywhere... Just like the Boat Race or something but better.
