    The Eng Ball - Possibly the greatest ball of all time and certainly not just for engineers. Here are some details about it:

    Date: 10th February 2006
    Venue: Citywest Hotel
    (Buses departing from the Centre Club and returning)

    Posters will be up soon and the price will be e60. Also there will be a tux rental discount

    I'd just like to know if any boards members will be going? It's one helluva night!

    ah eng ball..... i remember the days when it was in the grand hotel in malahide....

    it was not a good night unless there was at least a inch of vomit covering the floor of the toilets...

    :D


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    yes i'll be going


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    Ill be there for sure, 4th year engineers i hope you will ALL be there!

    I think there is a plan to get a few rooms so we can make it a 24 hour affair, or at least last-engineer-standing.

    Anyway, to all who didn't go last year, twas a great nite and city west is a decent place to have it, better than leopardstown anyway...although midnight racing around the track...ahhh memories

    turned up to that with a friend by chance, BY CHANCE I tell you, didn't know what the hell was going on at first but it looked like a lot of fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 281 ✭✭Samos


    Why are there no afters tickets? I'd like to go but paying over the odds for some mediocre food and a trip to the other side of Tallaght doesn't sound like a recipe for fun!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 v_corningstone
