Small Societies Masquerade Ball 2014, a set on Flickr.


    On Thursday 6th March 2014, the Archaeology Society, along with the Association of Small Societies , organised a Masquerade Ball. The event took place in the beautiful Arlington Hotel, near O'Connel bridge on Bachelor's Quay and started at 7pm.
    We were welcomed by a wine reception which took place in one of the reception areas of the hotel. A choice of red or white wine was available, and we could also order other drinks from the bar. After about one hour, we were invited to move to the underground banqueting room where a stage had been set up for the live acts of the evening, and rows of beautifully-decorated tables were waiting for us.
    The menu that night catered for everyone's needs and wishes, with a meat, fish and vegetarian main dish to choose from, and a dessert plate with a selection of different mini cakes. Throughout the dinner, we were entertained by the performance of a wonderful singer and her guitarist. They then left the stage at about 10pm and were succeeded by a pop-rock band which featured our very own Thiana Rachel (Secretary of the Society) as the female singer. They were in turn followed by a punk-rock band featuring Emmet Burke (one of the organisers of the Masquerade Ball) as the lead guitarist. As the clock neared midnight, the stage was cleared and the DJ started his set.
     The evening went on with everyone dancing until their feet could not follow any more. It was a beautiful night and we would like to thank the organising committees, which includes members from all the Small Societies at UCD, for bringing together this fantastic event.

You can find all the photographs from the evening on our Flickr Gallery.
