GFC 10th Anniversary Ball – Back to the 1920’s

On January 16th 2016 GFC celebrated the 10th anniversary Ball. The theme was 1920s. Due to a theme change few weeks before the ball, the organisation team, around Social Events Lead Sereana Westland, had not much time to prepare the ball.

The event took place in the Galaxy Roddenberry Centre. The guest were asked to enter the building via the back entrance from the headquarters building. Above the entrance to the HQ, a marquee was placed announcing the ball. On the way to the back entrance, the guests went past the Memorial.

The tricorders scanned the old cars as well the look and feel confirmed that we were in the 1920’s. There was another set of stairs on the other side of the street that we walked up and you saw another marquee above the entrance to the theater.

At 2 pm the program started with an introduction by Vice Fleet Admiral Mechanique. Followed by a small rp. It was about the Borg, Vulcan, Cardassian, Klingon, Gorn and others trying to invade the history but in the end a peaceful solution was found and the base for a glorious future as we all know it.
