Socials

Socials are an integral part of life at Wycombe and it is a rare weekend that doesn't contain something, whether it be a formal occasion such as the Annual Ball with Eton or a more informal House visit to Pizza Hut with one of the Houses from a boys' school such as Harrow or Radley. Below are some of our latest socials:

UIV Ceilidh with Ludgrove - Summer term 2011

The Ceilidh was great fun, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the Scottish reeling. At times it was quite challenging because the moves were quite fast, so we were all glad that we had been taught some of the dances before! The food was good, and the reeling was very fun. There was a boy who played the bagpipes as we paraded out, which all the outhouses enjoyed a lot! We hope that we'll soon be able to have another Ceilidh with Ludgrove.

Scottish Reeling at Radley - Spring Term 2011

Long or short? That was the biggest debate of the evening as 20 Wycombe Abbey girls set off for a night of Scottish reeling at Radley. We were under strict instructions to not take off our shoes, not reveal our shoulders until after dinner, and to remember our manners; all good advice which I hope we lived up to in the heat of the reel.

The candlelit dinner consisted of prawn cocktails followed by roast chicken and a chocolate tart to finish – all much needed to boost our energy as we danced between courses. The music was provided by a live band who introduced a modern element to the melodies, and added authenticity to the reeling. Overall, a great evening was had by everyone –a big thank you to Mrs Best, and Mr Shorto from Radley, for organising the wonderful event and of course to the Radleans for being such excellent hosts. Scottish reeling is a charming way to meet new people and have fun and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go!

The new chairmen of the Caledonian Society for 2011, Rebecca and Octavia, joined the Clarence girls at the Cal Soc Ball in the Spring term. It was a highly enjoyable evening of Scottish celebration.
