Another weekend is upon us

We have a busy few days ahead at work. Unusually for us, we have a big, block booking: from a large group of religious fanatics from Shropshire. Sorry, let me rephrase that - 'religious fanatics' has certain connotations and might put a certain negative image in your head, so let me say instead that we have a large group of devotees descending upon us.
Although, to be fair, I do get the impression that this lot might be a touch on the fanatical side. I can't quite work out which denomination they are affiliated with; it seems to be more in the realms of astrology, wicca and the occult. They've asked for exclusive use of one of the ballrooms, they want the windows covered by dark curtains, and they're bringing their own chefs (and happily paying us to allow them to use the kitchen). All very odd, but nothing too worrying. I do have a slight uneasy feeling though that once we get them here they might be difficult to deal with, and possibly even difficult to get rid of. There's just something about the guy I've been communicating with that makes me think he could be the sort to take over everything and tell me how to do my job.
Oh, Good Lord, I've just realised something! A while ago, I joked about starting a cult on the site and barricading ourselves in against the outside world. Is my fantasy becoming reality? Is my foolishness about to be revealed as a premonition?
Am I a prophet????
