The 2013 Sydney Military Officers Spring Ball
The Victoria Barracks Officers Mess, located within the historic Victoria Barracks, Oxford Street, Paddington NSW will host the 2013 Sydney Military Officers Spring Ball
Date: Saturday, 07 September 2013
Time: 7:30 pm until late
Venue: Victoria Barracks Officers Mess
Dress: Mess Dress (Winter or Summer) for military officers. Female military officers may also wear Ball Gown.
Black Tie (Gentlemen) or Ball Gown (Ladies) for non military guests.
Tickets: $125 per person
The Spring Ball is not a strict, traditional sit down affair. There will be unreserved seating available for about half the guests. The aim is not to tie guests down to a table. Rather, guests who want to eat at a table can and then move along to give the table space to someone else. The concept is to get guests moving around and immersing themselves in all the diverse entertainment activities.
(Note: You need to be a one star or equivalent to secure a reserved table)

Origins
Having its genesis as the Middle Head Spring Ball, conducted by 10 Terminal Regiment until its relocation, the inaugural Victoria Barracks Officers Mess Spring Ball was held in 2006. In 2009, the Victoria Barracks Officers Mess Spring Ball became known as the Sydney Military Officers Spring Ball, becoming a genuine tri-service event. It has since become the premier military social activity of the year in the Sydney area.
Over the past seven years a ‘distinguished’ theme in keeping with the nature of the function has been used for the Spring Ball. These have ranged from: Venetian Carnivale (2006); Roaring 20/30s (2007); Out of Africa (2008); Back to Vegas (first iteration of the Sydney Military Officers Spring Ball) (2009); Carnivale (Rio vs Venice) (2010); Hollywood (2011) and Military Ball (2012).
For 2013, the Spring Ball will have the theme of Fair Ground Carnivale.
