Pre-order drinks
Individuals
If you'd like to purchase additional drinks, you can pre-order one bottle of either red or white wine, priced at £23.95 per bottle. Soft drinks will not be pre-ordered in the same way but will be available to buy on the night.
Groups
We understand that groups may wish to buy some extra wine or soft drinks at Colours Ball if they have outstanding money in their social accounts.
If you wish to put in a request for wine or soft drinks at the ball, your President should submit a ticket through Freshdesk. Please include how many bottles of red/white wine you would like to request for your group (maximum ½ bottle per member attending) and/or also how many small drinks buckets you’d like (eight cans). Please also tell us the name of the one committee member who will be responsible for collecting your extra drinks on the night.
Pre-order bottles will be charged at £23.95 per bottle and soft drinks buckets are also £23.95, and the money will be debited from your social account. Please only request extra drinks if you know you have sufficient funds in your social account! Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
The deadline for groups to request to buy wine from their social account is midday on Friday 17 February. We will reply to your Freshdesk ticket to confirm if your request has been successful.
