The History Of The Society
The origins of the society date back to 2003, where Dean Leyland and James Downs started going to Waterfoot, everyday, without fail. Fellow students Sam Stevens and Alex White then joined, and since then, it has flourished. The society in lower school was built on the friendship between the bottom court football "lot", a mixture of students from S, B and G. Now in 6th form, the society is at it's largest and strongest, making up appoximately half the population of Waterfoot.

The Simon Kroll Question
The Traditionalist Approach
Though Simon Kroll does not take part in lunch at Waterfoot, he is seen to be part of the Society, occasionally parting from whatever the hell he does to join some of his friends in Waterfoot.
The Revisionist Approach
Simon Kroll is not a part of the group as he does not consume food in Waterfoot on a regular basis, a requirement of The Waterfoot Luncheon Society .
The Post-Revisionist Approach
Though Simon Kroll does not take part in lunch at Waterfoot, he is seen to be part of the Society, however, it is perceived that he is there only as a comedic device, or target.
