Talk:May Ball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I fail to see why if there is a section on an oxfor equivelant there shouldn't be one on a St Andrews may ball. It is essentially the same thing, A Ball held at the end of the academic year.

Nobody cares about st. andrews; is it a uni?

Can we get lineups etc as they develope. On the kaiser chiefs wiki page, apaz they played a ball last year! impressive foresight.

Why does Trinity May Ball have its own special section when there are already links to further information below? While it can't hurt to have extra information around, it seems a little odd to mention one ball specifically. More work should probably be done on building up information on other balls but until then, maybe we should scratch that section entirely. If people feel a need to look up Trinity May Ball perhaps that section should be converted into a little stublet of its own. Would be cute, and perhaps satisfy the insecurity issue that seems to be floating around. --131.111.8.102 13:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The article in question is about May Balls in general - reference is made to Trinity's Ball in the article and I don't see how it is appropriate. I can quickly see this turning into a "My May Ball is better than yours contest",I guess the guys @ John's will be livid.

Other musicians that have played - mystery jets at sidney sussex, rakes at trinity, dirty pretty things too i think. all last year

The solution to the Trinity problem is more information about other balls, not less about Trinity's. FYI, if anyone wants to put lineups on, in 2006 Trinity had the Guillemots and Trinity Hall had The Automatic. Echobeats 00:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Why is the Kings Affair listed? It's a June Event. (PS. Come to the Trinity Hall June event this year!)

Removed. Thanks for your little ad, David. — Richie 00:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

In accordance with the suggestions on this page, I've added some more info on the Robinson Ball, but this has been consistently removed, called an advert. Obviously this page cannot turn into a Ball sales page, but there is scope to give information about the various balls and what makes them each distinctive. Suggestions?

Do you have any sources for the 'reputation' of Robinson's Ball? If not, I think that sentence ought to be removed, as it is clear promotion for that Ball. Also, if there is a statement about the cheapest May Ball, should there not also be one about the most expensive Ball? Churchillarian 12:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I doubt Police Officers are employed by Balls any more; Trinity stopped around 1995 as the cost of an officer being employed for an entire night makes them an inefficient option these days. Dan
