RuneFest 2018 was an event that took place on October 5th and 6th, 2018, that members of Clan Quest attended together. After a record breaking 15+ attendees in 2017, Clan Quest quickly went to work to organize the next event, and around 20 members met in London, regardless of whether they were attending RuneFest or not. It also was the first official event to feature the brand new official Clan Quest branding, which was seen on apparel worn by the attendees.
Preparation
Unlike previous years, preparation for RuneFest 2018 began merely days after RuneFest 2017 ended, showing an enthusiasm for the event unlike anything seen in the past. Excitement for the event, and an eagerness to be a part of the next giant meetup, led to a lot of early interest, and the list of expected attendees quickly grew. As time went on, though, many people were forced to cancel due to monetary or scheduling reasons. A lot of work was done up to and throughout September 2018 to make official plans for the event, including activities before, during, and after RuneFest, a second Clan Quest HQ, setting up a Taxi service to move between the Hotel(s), the event, and general tourist destinations, and so on. Most prominent out of all the preparations, though, were those for the second year of official Clan apparel, which featured the Clan's new branding for the first time. It took several months to finalize the branding, which had been holding things up for the RuneFest preparation, but by September 17th everything had been ordered.
Picnic and The Night Before
October 5 was the chosen day for the first clan meetup of the year, which was attended by at least half of the people that were attending TNB, plus Seb and Pop o, who were not travelling to Farnborough for the event. After a couple hours of eating, giving speeches, fighting over a rare Hobbit postcard, drinking, and appropiate hooding, both the Punmobile (Cireon's taxi), and the Saxsmobile (Saxspieler's taxi) set on the road to the venue.

The Day After
The classic Day After usually revolves on walking to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard, and then having the famous Cheeky Nando's meal. At this point, some of the atendees started leaving, and the remaining people headed off to play some games of pool, and finally met at Clan Quest's HQ to chat about clan business.
