Society Weekend Away

Friday 30th October to Sunday 1st November 2009

This year the weekend away is taking on an exciting new sheen. Instead of having a Choir and an Orchestra trip we thought it would be fun to have one mega blockbuster tour, even inviting newcomer outcast rogues Jazz Band into the mix.

We meet on Friday afternoon, load up the coach and head off down to Southampton. On Friday evening we'll have some sort of civilised meal at one of the town's foremost restaurants, then stroll along to the quay to go drinking, dancing and try our best to contribute to the local teenage pregnancy statistics.

On Saturday the more keen members of the tour will doubtless be up early for a healthy and nutritious breakfast, before eagerly rehearsing the repertoire for Sunday's concert. The experienced partygoers will rise sometime after lunch and spend the afternoon chasing hangovers away with pint after pint of fruit juice. We may find a diverting group activity with which to while the hours away...whatever Southampton has really.

Saturday night will be a fairly similar experience to Friday, kicking off in another of Southampton's gastronomic hotspots before once again heading off into the night to watch Dave Smith trying to finally loose his virginity. We'll probably be able to enjoy the sight of a series of charming Southampton Solent girls slapping him in shock at his suggestions, pepper spraying him, setting their shaven headed lovers on him etc etc.

Sunday is of course the big day. We have breakfast around lunch time then head over to the concert venue to treat the locals to two hours of un-rehearsed hung over rubbish. Most people will probably get lost around Figure A and never quite recover. Afterwards we get back on the coach and crash on the way back to London.

Weekend Away really is a must - a fine time to meet and mingle with the beautiful, witty and friendly society members, and if past tours are anything to go by you might just be lucky enough to see a highly inebriated 5th year girl try to have sex with a (thankfully cold) radiator at 4am. No names mentionned there. All this fun is subsidised by the society, so it is as cheap as chips. Tour is just as appropriate for non drinkers too - all the silliness is very optional and after all somebody has to be sober to tell the stories afterwards.
