Christmas Ball

Ballerina

does anyone happen to know if its free in or not?

also,may seem like a stupid question but are non-UCD students allowed in?

Chakar

Its not free and I think non-UCD students are allowed yeah.

What is this Christmas Ball and when is it on? Is it a "ball" ball or just a "messy night out, not dressed in black-tie regalia" ball?

Its usually a messy night out in the student bar so dont go donning your tux. Theres usually condoms hanging from the xmas tree at the end of the night....lovely......

meowCat

well, I've never been, but it's on in the student bar. I cannot see a black-tie event happening there tbh. And their web page does not saying anything about any dress code.

I have vague memories a sneaking in the back door of the student bar at last years Christmas Ball... paying into the student bar sucks.


*warning about late bars in the Student Bar*

If the situation at Justice is anything to go by the heaters are set to go off when the bar usually closes it gets pretty damn cold.



@Grimes
The strauss ball is a fancy ball, white tie, somewhere nice (i.e. not the student bar)

Alternate Names For the Student Bar

• Ice box **** hole with bad lighting bar?
• Students have no respect for where they drink bar

Costs a lot more though, that's the only problem

Stabshauptmann

White tie! Hat and a tails for the men (in theory)
Table of 10 700euro

Riamfada

Boards table !! Me remembers video for Dirtbag. Roffles...

75 quid? I think ill treat myself one really nice night of class and subtle enjoyment with one special lady (i know she'll say no) rather then the series of cheap , disturbing, free alcohol fuled , major hangover , what the **** did i do last night, oh my god i said what to her nights ive been having a string of lately.

Pretty*monster knows what im talking about...:p

I'd much rather go to the Christmas Ball than the over-priced Strauss ball, especially with lack of funds and Christmas approaching etc. Blizzards and Corona in the same place on a night out I'd say is worth paying into the Student Bar for

Stabshauptmann

are you confusing the Ents Xmas Ball and BnL Xmas Cracker

Le Rack

Cracker is in Tramco Ball with The Blizzards, Corona, etc is in SU Bar, There's a gang of us going should be good craic! WEll things tend to be fun as long as you're with mates!

tintinr35

wow the blizzards.....................again!

gubbie

Up the engineering snow ball!!

I can have either a bunch of bands whose music I probably won't listen to... or a bunch of engineering guys and discounted drinks... I know where I'm going

Edited it cos I spelt probably wrong...duh

Und again to say that I just noticed the ents christmas ball is on the same night... YEA ONLY ENGINEERS (well if you want to come I suppose you can)

PeadarofAodh

I'm so confused...

Brenwatcher

should be great nice line up....santa grotto too, time to get out the sexy santa outfit

Miss GAAfia

5 days of college left,
4 till I start to panic about exams,

And a Partridge in a pear tree (oh and Council much?!:D )

This board seems to attract a lot of moany begrudgers. The christmas ball in the su bar last year was great. Its widely regarded by most of my friends as one of the best ucd nights. Even Anto Kelly marked it as the highlight of his year. It was certainly leagues better than the christmas bal in spirit in first year.

By the way, if you cant force yourself to part with the 7euro, get some black mascara and draw a stamp on your wrist, loads of the guys got into justice that way:D

Then you should have actually gone.

Maybe it will continue, but I cant see it going on as aweekly thing
