It doesn't feel that long ago we were at the roddenberry centre in the engineering set for the warp to the future Bi-Annual ball in January, but here we are again in the GFC's semiannual promotion and awards Ceremony.
This years theme was based around wormholes in the Past, Present and Future. Richmerk Resident and Wolfie had worked in secret on the set so it was a surprise to people when they first saw it.
When you first arrived at the roddenberry centre you were welcome to a replica of the guardian portal scene from the Star Trek Original Series episode "City on the Edge of Forever". In the portal, pictures of the GFC past were displayed. Upon clicking the portal you were teleported to the hall venue which was a room inside a swirling wormhole.
It gave a wonderfully convincing effect of being inside a rotating wormhole. Once teleported you'd find yourself on the dance floor which had a bar to the right of it. Further along where the seats and tables for members and guest to sit at to watch the proceedings and screens at either side of the rooms showed old images from GFC past in a slideshow.
The event fired off with Admiral Cobramax Mechanique welcoming people to the proceedings and we went straight into a quiz full of trek related questions which once again Sereana Westland won like last ball. Clearly, attempts to tie down her typing finger failed :)
Once the Quiz was completed and scores counted and displayed, it was time for the regular ball message by Fleet Admiral Katrina Bixby & Admiral Cobramax Mechanique to be played over the radio stream.

After we had heard the Bi-Annual ball message it was down to the meat and veg of the proceedings, the award and promotion ceremony. Like last event and unlike previous ones members were called up in alphabetical order in groups no more than 10 at a time.
At ease stands were laid out by the side of the podium where they would wait until it was their turn to step up and deliver their speeches of thanks.
This ball around 65 members were awarded for their activities in the group, though not all could make the event many had the pleasure of standing up and thanking those who voted for them and how they felt about being in the group. Some speeches express what the group meant to them and in some instances how it help them to get through difficult problems.
The speeches and awards were the longest part of the ceremony and once over people could stretch their legs a little by walking outside the roddenberry centre and watching the fireworks Timol had laid on for us.
With the fireworks over it was back inside to the dancefloor to boogie the rest of the night away, chat about members new ranks and awards plus looking forward to another 6 months in the fleet.
Congratulations to all those that received awards this ball and everyone who has participated in the GFC over the last 6 months...
