Welly Ball Went Very Well[y]

By Editor 7 years ago

Sarah Jack reviews the Welly Ball After Party.

A staple in the St Andrews social calendar, the Welly Ball After Party never fails to deliver light in the midst of the dark November deadline season. The event follows the standard St Andrews ball format, with the only exception being that all the guests are adorned in welly boots as a tribute to the St Andrews Challenge, the national shooting competition preceding the event. This unusual twist on the usual black tie dress code is highly practical, both for comfortable dancing and for the inevitably mucky floors as guests meander through Kinkell Byre until 2 am.

The dinner itself is one of the biggest University social events, hosting 700 students both from our University and from other universities across the UK, comprised of teams from the competition. From around 9 pm onwards, a further 800 after party guests gradually trickle in, students being ferried to and from the town centre by a smoothly operating non-stop bus service. 

The venue this year held all its usual charm. Its multitude of overhead fairy lights twinkled overheard, and the vast space was made available for guests to explore. Partygoers revolved around the central dancefloor space, which was crowded all through the night. First onstage was headline act Normanton Street, a hip hop-soul fusion band hailing from Brighton. The band enchanted the audience with their smooth and unique genre-blending sound. Following their performance were sets from St Andrews’ own well-loved DJ talents TEA, //SG, and Asquire, the latter including excerpts from The Lion King, the Friends theme song and even the jingle from BBC quiz show Countdown, much to the delight of the crowd.

Meanwhile, the surrounding bar space was equally filled to capacity with a constant stream of guests milling in every direction or thronging around the bar. Mingling largely unnoticed among guests was Tatler photographer Zygmunt von Sikorski-mazur, who captured the event’s best dressed attendees. The marquee, previously used as the dinner tent, had been converted into a relaxed seating space where guests could enjoy crepes freshly made by student-run initiative and Vic regulars Ludo & Lolo’s Crêperie. For those seeking savoury flavours, local burger restaurant and event sponsor Blackhorn provided students the chance to quench their hunger – or, in many cases, soften the effects of the night’s alcohol. 

The impressive sum of money raised this year in ticket sales for the ball’s partner charity, The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust, was put towards a cause thought to be of great relevance to students on a nation-wide level. The charity aims to raise awareness of mental health issues and support students in universities across the country suffering from mental health issues. Tickets for the event are always a hot commodity, this year selling out in just three and a half hours.   

Reflecting on the evening’s proceedings, Welly Ball Co-Director Ben Conway remarked

“I believe this year’s Welly Ball was a resounding success. The number of people still on the dancefloor at our 2 am close is a real testament to the fantastic musical acts featured. While the night went well(y!), the money raised through the support of all those in attendance will allow us to donate what is expected to be upwards of £18,000 to our supported charity. This money makes a world of difference to the work that they do and supports a cause that I, and I’m sure many other university students, can relate to.”

Congratulations to Directors Ben and Jemima McCrystal and to the rest of the Welly Ball committee for once again putting on an astounding event, providing a much-needed stress release and a real excuse to party hard, St Andrews style.

  155. Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that verifies the precision and precision of timepieces. COSC certification is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and trustworthiness in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary stringent standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, reaching comparable accuracy.

    The Science of Precision Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the spring, which provides energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external factors that may influence its precision. COSC-validated movements undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests measure:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and impacts of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Validation Matters
    For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a demonstration to enduring quality and accuracy. It signifies a watch that:

    Provides excellent reliability and accuracy.
    Ensures confidence of superiority across the entire construction of the timepiece.
    Is probable to maintain its worth more efficiently, making it a smart investment.
    Famous Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several renowned brands prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-certified movements equipped with advanced substances like silicone balance suspensions to boost durability and performance.

    Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The idea of the chronometer dates back to the requirement for precise chronometry for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the formal foundation of COSC in 1973, the validation has become a yardstick for judging the accuracy of high-end timepieces, sustaining a tradition of superiority in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to quality and precision. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC accreditation provides peacefulness of mind, ensuring that each accredited timepiece will function reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-validated timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a tradition of precise timekeeping.

    로드스탁과 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자법의 신규 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 제공되는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자법의 한 방법으로, 상당한 수익률을 목표로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 방법은 투자자들이 자신의 자본을 초과하는 자금을 투입할 수 있도록 함으로써, 주식 시장에서 훨씬 큰 영향력을 가질 수 있는 방법을 공급합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 기본적으로 자본을 차입하여 투자하는 방식입니다. 사례를 들어, 100만 원의 자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 구매할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 구매하여, 주식 가격이 상승할 경우 해당하는 더 큰 이익을 가져올 수 있게 됩니다. 그러나, 주식 가격이 하락할 경우에는 그 손해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 신중하게 생각해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 높은 회사에 적용할 때 유용합니다. 이러한 회사에 높은 비중으로 투입하면, 성공할 경우 막대한 수익을 얻을 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 많은 위험도 감수하게 됩니다. 따라서, 투자자는 자신의 리스크 관리 능력과 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어느 기업에 얼마만큼의 투자금을 적용할지 선택해야 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 보장하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험성 수반합니다. 증권 시장의 변화는 추정이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 늘 장터 추세를 정밀하게 살펴보고, 손실을 최소로 줄일 수 있는 계획을 마련해야 합니다.

    최종적으로: 조심스러운 선택이 필요
    로드스탁에서 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 효과적인 투자 도구이며, 잘 활용하면 상당한 수입을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 하지만 큰 위험도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정은 필요한 정보와 신중한 생각 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자자 자신의 금융 상황, 위험을 감수하는 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 생각한 안정된 투자 방법이 중요하며.
