Trinity May Ball

After a somewhat disappointing Ball last year, the Trinity Ball Committee managed to impress even the most hard-to-please guests, providing a night of effortless elegance. Queuing took a mere fifteen minutes before entering the buoyant atmosphere which characterised the evening.

When it came to entertainment, the Ball did not disappoint, with an entire fairground and an astounding fireworks display to keep guests occupied between stage performances from Alphabeat and Wheatus. To keep hunger at bay, the Ball boasted a refreshing variety of Moroccan delights, yet the old favourites champagne and oysters also abounded.

Whilst a Ball as prestigious as Trinity could have easily rested upon its laurels, the Ball Committee excelled this year, truly creating a night to remember.
