The time for promotions, medals, speeches, fireworks and dancing has come round again, the 2013 Bi-Annual ball is again amongst us, the bi-yearly event awards member for their hard work in the fleet by handing out promotion and medals.
For this years winter ball the theme was andoria (ice planet from star trek enterprise series) with the tag line "Make it snow", the social events team put together a ice cave set, the tables and chairs were fashion in an icy design and a dance floor ice rink was place at the other side of the room, plus a bar for those who just wanted to chill out and take a seat whilst knocking back some serious liquor.
The ball started with an announcement by JD Matova stating the senior admirals will be delayed, Snapper Desade interjected to tell the attendees that a message had been sent and to turn on their sim land stream to listen to the message which is re-produced below.

Once the message was played Fleet Admiral Katrina Bixby & Admiral Cobramax Mechanique were teleported down to the event and the Admiral started the proceeding by calling up members to deliver their speech of the awards and promotions they have been given. Over 50 members had been up for award or promotions, many turned up to stand at the podium and read their acceptance speeches to the audience which tops over 50 people.
Once all the speeches had been done, members and guest went outside for a photoshoot, chairs and stands had been erected for a group photo which, apart from handing a copy of the picture to those who were there, plans were also are to have the photo placed in a time capsule which was on display. Members will be able to drop items in the capsule and we can look back at it in a few years to see what the group was like in 2013.
Keeping with tradition there was a spectacular firework display to close the general proceedings with an bang and then it was back to the andoria set and the dance floor to boogie out the rest of the night.
We would like to congratulate those who received award for their great work over the last 6 months and hope the guest who also attending had a great time as well. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the summer ball 2014.
