The Multi-Purpose Hall - The Venue of the Bi-Annual Ball

GFC Bi-Annual Ball - July 2011
Written by Jimmy Vehrous

So, another 6 months has passed and my word hasn't it been a long 6 months. Mobile Research Units, Playing in the Grass, Being Kidnapped on Al Raqis - the Last 6 months have given us a lot of enjoyment and this Ball in my eyes just gives us hope that this fun will continue.

snapper Desade Gets his Commendation award!

Personally this is my First Bi-Annual Ball, and because of some rule I couldn't get promoted - though had the rule not been there I'm sure I would have *laughs*. But anyway, I recieved the Starfleet Commendation Award and the Legion of Merit Award.

What does this mean to me?

Well, It tells me that I have been recognised in GFC for my work, It also tells me that people appreciate my work and that comes very warmly to me.

A Personal Thank you to snapper Desade and Phedre Aionfall who recommended me for these awards.

Anyway ... moving on.

Another awesome part of the Ball was the Strategic Operations/OPFOR Roleplay. Admiral Mechanique was abducted by the Orions from Al Raqis. It was all very tense and scary! I made a quick judgement and called the U.S.S Paris for them to send fighters to intercept the fleeing Orion craft that had the Admiral tucked away on board. Unfortunately they failed and the fighters were destroyed ... The Admiral is still missing. We think we has taken to Al Raqis, DS19 has been informed and their crew sent to locate him.

The last time we saw Admiral Mechanique


A Thank you goes to the following people who participated in this RP:

And

A Special Thank You however goes out to:

And

We were all ushered outside to enjoy the GFC Bi-Annual Ball fireworks!

mhmmmm ... fireworks!

As usual, some of our members got a little over excited!

Of course, to finish of the evening, well rather my evening, We all went back into the roddenbury building to enjoy the after part which of course was ... as always ... Gravity free!

Took us ages to learn how to do this!

Anyway, I hope that you all had a great time at the Ball, and if you missed it I hope reading this post has allowed you to catch up on the goings on in GFC.
