Thanks for the great post, lots of concrete and useful advice in there!
What’s tabling? From context, my best guess is just setting up a table somewhere and advertising the society? But that feels super weird/isn’t something I’ve ever seen a society doing at Cambridge—is this a US thing?
I’ve seen it in highly trafficked central areas in Trinity College in Dublin, though usually there’s some upcoming catalyst for it like an event in the near future.
It happens in Australian universities. Probably anywhere there’s a large centralised campus. Wouldn’t work as well in Oxbridge, though, because the teaching areas, and even the libraries, are spread all across the city.

Edited for clarity—it might be a US thing, but I’d encourage others to try it out and see how it goes unless there are strong reasons not to.
