Okay, so I fail at remembering to upload photos. But look at some shinies!

So you’ll all be pleased to hear that the ball has been paid off and we are now on our official 2 week count down until the event itself! I hope you’ve all written down the date in your diary but just as a reminder, here are the details:

Date: Friday 27th November.
Start time: 7pm. Bucks Fizz reception in the bar.
8pm. Dinner served. Followed by disco and all manner of good times.
Finishing time: 1am.

For the next order of business, I just need to double check that there are no relevant allergies among you? Or any vegetarians? Please let me know asap.

Finally I think, and most importantly, menu choices. Here is a list of the food options:

Main Course
Option 1: Roast Glamorgan turkey with post sausage bacon roll, sage and onion stuffing and rich gravy.
Option 2: Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding with port gravy.
Option 3: Leek and gruyere crown (V): a puff pastry parcel filled with sautéed leeks and creamy melted gruyere cheese.

Help yourself to chefs selection of seasonal vegetables and roast potatoes.

Dessert
Option 1: Traditional Christmas pudding served with brandy sauce.
Option 2: Profiteroles with chocolate sauce.

I need you to tell me before the 20th of November, which option you would prefer. If I do not hear back from you, then I will assume you want the first option of each and mark them down. If you want them anyway, PLEASE STILL REPLY TO THE EMAIL. You have no idea how frustrating it is to e-mail and not get any reply. Another things is, I have been given a wine list which is available for pre-ordering with 10% off. The bottles of wine range from £14.95 and £18.95 and if you would like more information on them, please let me know and I’ll send you a copy of the list. Again though, I’ll need this information before the 20th of November. If you are one of the people who has bought a ticket for a guest, please inform me about their dietary needs too.

For now, I think that is everything. Thanks very much and hope everyone is fabulous.
Love Alex

To All Fellow Potterites!

Next week will be your last chance to get a Yule Ball ticket! PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE COME. WITH CHERRY ON TOP?

Just in case some of you need a reminder, it’s on the 27th of November starting at 7pm and ending at 1am. There will be a carvery dinner with a choice of turkey or beef (or the veggie option, obviously) with a
selection of vegetables. There will be music, party favours and (hopefully) a chocolate fountain. Basically it’s gonna be a completely fantabulous evening!

If you’re suddenly thinking: “Damn, I meant to get my ticket already and I have a sudden urge to give Alex £30 immediately!” then contact me on Facebook or my mobile number (details are in the latest email that were sent out). If you wanna come but have the patience to wait then come along Tuesday at 33 Windsor Place and you shall have my eternal devotion. If, on the other hand, you just want a proper belly laugh then come along and see me start to beg people for money.

So please come along Tuesday and buy a ticket, you really won’t regret it!

Love, Alex.

This was our third Yule Ball, this time hosted in conjunction with the Cardiff University Pagan Society at the Marriott Hotel. We also added a masquerade theme for a little extra glitz.

After 2006′s Yule Ball madness, we decided to do it all over again. This time, a different location but still with the same festive spirit and crazy hippogryff dancing.

In the wood-panelled room at Cardiff’s Royal Hotel, guests were treated to a cocktail reception, three-course Christmas meal and even a chocolate fountain for that extra bit of Christmas decadence.

We were once again joined by several other societies from the university, as well as several members of ULU’s Harry Potter society, The Unspeakables.
