The Prom Post | Casino Royale

Last month I celebrated my Prom, also known as our Leaver's Ball, to mark the end of an amazing two years of Sixth Form!


Being a "typical" girl, it's no surprise I spent all day getting ready... With nail appointments, hair appointments, and making the decision to do my own makeup, I was rushed around from the minute I got out of bed... I can't exactly complain though, because getting ready for Prom is something almost every girl looks forward to; like getting ready for a night out, but better... 


Arriving at the Torintone Suite of Thornton Hall Hotel, myself and my friends were greeted with a red carpet, professional photographers and a glass of bubbly! 




Shortly after gathering in the suite lobby and socialising with everyone else, we were invited into the suite for the meal and the remainder of the evening! The suite was decorated beautifully, with candelabras, a star-studded dancefloor as well as a giant light-up WK15 letter display! The scene was definitely set for a magical night...






After the meal, the DJ began and soon enough we were all dancing the night away, drinking and having the best time! To make things a little more exciting, and taking a slight James Bond-esque turn, it had been arranged for a few casino tables to be set up within the venue, but purely for fun and not serious gambling! There were blackjack and roulette tables, and seeing as roulette is pure luck and requires no skill whatsoever, it's safe to say I stayed there... 



I know I'm pretty biased when I say I was pretty good and luck was on my side... I ended up with a rather large stack of chips, but not as many as Cat who ended up with 3600 of them! Note to self - take Cat if I ever find myself at a casino...



Unfortunately, the night ended almost as quickly as it began... 2am rolled around and though the bar remained open until three, a group of us decided to share a taxi and return home... 
I had an absolute blast and wish I could re-live Prom, and all I can say is roll on University Balls!
