This Year’s Social Events
Another year, another loan, another opportunity to do stupid stuff and
use the excuse that "im a student" to justify it.
Last year was big but it was only a warm up for this year…
The first month sees three nights out: the Hypnotist Evening which
is guaranteed embarrassment, the 3-Legged Pub Crawl -
an event that gets bigger by the
year, often copied, never matched, and the Halloween night
out with a yet undecided theme.
It’s not only pub-crawls here though - by no means. Pub
quizzes,
trips to Wet and Wild, Alton Towers and a trip
abroad are going on throughout the year.
On top of these we have the Eldon Ball - our fancy night out that never
ends with people looking as they did at the beginning, and themed pub-crawls
for anyone who can stick the pace.
All in all its gonna be wicked and I hope to see you there - at every
event! Check out the social events calender below for when and where
these will be taking place and don't forget to come back as it will be
getting updated regularly.

Last Year’s Social Events
Right from the start of the year its was clear to all that this year would be different, with me at the helm any social occasion had the potential to turn into anything people’s imagination could conjure up. And it all started way back in September…
The Hypnotist Night

TV’s very own David Knight graced the local pub stage and dazzled us with his shows causing varying degrees of embarrassment. From acting like monkeys, to snogging the other “volunteers”, everyone had a great night out.
But this was only a warm up to the incredible, massive, and most importantly of all – legendary…
The Three-legged Pub Crawl
Every year this annual event has Newcastle quaking in their boots, locals
don’t dare try to get into the bars, shops close early, and the
football team cancels their training session. Why? Because one night
every September The Eldon Society take all the first, second and third
year lawyers, and tie every girl to the leg of a man and take them to
every bar in the city! This year was a classic and the sight of drunken
lawyers walking down the street in tandem, going into bars, toilets (yes
that’s right, you are together for everything) and clubs was certainly
one to behold.
The night gets bigger every year, and work has already begun on planning
this years.
Following on from the September bonanza was the cult classic…
Halloween Pub Crawl

This – ironically – took place the day after Halloween, and in place of monsters were the friendly faces of superheroes! That’s right, for one night only the Musketeers, Wonder Woman, The Incredibles and more could all be found in our beloved city. Unfortunately I had to leave early as I had to take action man home, but it was another wild and wacky night.
Next was the massive…
Eldon Society Christmas Ball

This is where all the dignified lawyers meet (well for the first half hour anyway) to have a formal dinner and dance. Then it gets messy, but that is a secret you shall find out for yourselves. (in other words I got too drunk to remember what happened.)
Only the next week saw the last social of the year…
The Christmas Crawl

Ever wonder where Santa and his wife go just before Christmas? Newcastle! That’s where! But along with the traditional Santa’s we had pimps and hoes! The sluts and their pimps came away from their respected corners for the evening and certainly showed how classless Newcastle can be. Bin liners, tinfoil feathers in hats, and pimp sticks were everywhere. We certainly showed the Bigg Market and the Quayside just how right people’s opinions of students really are!
Upon the start of the term, came…
Dress Your Mate For a Fiver
Exactly what it says on the tin. Go to a charity shop (always thinking of others less fortunate!) spend a fiver, and your mate has to wear exactly what you buy them. It was a cold night and yeah we still had people in Hawaiian shirts, and the obligatory cross dressers out on the prowl. All I’m going to say is that Newcastle ran for the hills!
But then came the BIG ONE…
AMSTERDAM

Oh yes, oh yessss. It was big, bold, brash and too much fun to handle. But like the rules said, what happened in dam stays in dam. You will have to come on this year’s trip to see what lawyers do in parts of the developed world away from their mum’s and dads.
At the end of the year the pace was slowed down a bit, with a little quiz. A few drinks later and it picked right back up again though. Easy questions were matched with blank faces, drinks met with smiles, tequila met with fear. Prizes were hard fought for but earned.
And so there it was, the end of the year, my liver, everyone’s loans, but not the memories. 2005/06 was amazing, but with your help 2006/07 can better it in everyway, so join the Eldon Society, and join in on the fun.
See you in the Law School
