Churchill College Springball

How can it be possible for me not to speak about this crazy night last friday ?

Every year, Churchill College organize, as the 20 others, a ball de celebrate the "end" of the year. This week is very known as the "Mayweek" because it always take place in may, after Cambridge University finals. Because Churchill is the youngest college, they chose to organize this party in February. We had the opportunity to take part of it because of a friend of friend. 

I've never seen it before, and none of the party I've ever done was looking as this one. All the college is transformed in a giant party, with 3 concerts, a casino room, a massage room, a silent disco room (like a club but you listen music in headphones, very funny!), stupids attractions (inflatable caste and slide) and food/alcohol everywhere. Everyone is dressed up as a classical bal, very very good looking.

It is a real experience because it is a part of Cambridge life, every student take part of this event and for some colleges, St John's especially, the tickets are booked in 1 hour maximum. St John's mayball is considered as the third most beautiful party of the world, even the Queen is participating! (The rumour tells that only St John's students and the Queen have the right to eat swan, a very royal meal !!! CRAZY).

... But such a party as a cost, 75£ (about 100E) for Churchill College Springball (which is very expensive, to my mind) and about 300£ for King's or St John's Mayballs.
