The Waterfoot Luncheon Society

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 Society's role in Society

Lunch is eaten in Waterfoot, this is normally in front of Cordey's bakery. The specific reasons for this location are unknown. However it is thought have arisen due to the convience of the window sill on the exterior of the premises. During the wetter months of the year the umbrella is a popular accessory for members of the society, this developed into an unspoken competition between members for the biggest umbrella. This arms race was originally led by Mr Lewis Gray's 'Maxfli, however Mr. James Bromley took up the challenge and trumped it with his 'DryJoys' umbrella. It remains to be seen whether the stakes will be raised once more.

The group is also noted for its challenges and forfeits which normally consist of either press-ups or consumption to excess. Notable examples include the Freddo challenge, with Simon Kroll as current champion at a grand total of twenty two in one hour. Also on the 7 December 2006 during the mass gathering that is the Thursday period four free an unbranded wheat based breakfast cereal (Weetabix) eating competition took place.

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.
