| Southampton and Birmingham chill out in Magdalen Bar before the results |
 |
| Birmingham queue at the bar |
 |
| The winning freshers team, Nottingham D |
 |
| Third place team, Birmingham A |
 |
| Second place team, Southampton A |
|
 |
| The winning team (as usual...), Nottingham A, with the shiny new Oxford Competition Shield |
 |
| The freshers group play the bottle game in the Turl |
 |
| Move those bottles! |
 |
| Southampton Alex demonstrates how to play the lolly game |
 |
| The freshers have a try, with varying sucess |
|
 |
| The freshers set off, four legged, for the Turf |
 |
| Some groups found the challenge easier than others |
 |
| Cat, the other group leader, marches her group onwards |
 |
| Meanwhile, some of the others lag behind, shouting abuse and being attacked by other pub crawls! |
 |
| Yes, it is a narrow path down to the turf |
|
 |
| See, we said you could do it |
 |
| Loitering in the Turf, we sample the many nice bitters to be found there |
 |
| Cat in yet another "almost looks like she's kissing" lifesaving photo... |
 |
| Everyone has a try at the strawberry lace game |
 |
| Some do much better than others |
|
 |
| Look at the Nottingham lot go! |
 |
| Alex has a go with an old friend who happened to be in the Turf |
 |
| We arrive in The Studio, and take advantage of the free bar |
 |
| The Oxford social captains, Nicola (2), Katrina (4), Annant (3), Gail (3), Cat (4) and Laura (3) |
 |
| Everyone gets to know the other clubs |
|
 |
| Chris, Katrina and Laura do something camera worthy, which now eludes us... |
 |
| Pass those Ice Gems around! |
 |
| Some random lifesavers pull (apparently they're Lex and Dave from Birmingham) |
 |
| Another ice gem action shots |
 |
| Katrina readies herself before starting another ice gem round |
|
 |
| And she's off |
 |
| Nicola experiences a momentary popularity spike by returning with vast amounts of drink |
 |
| All those bottles, and to think our straws were in the manager's office... :-( |
 |
| Nicola and Annant |
 |
| Nic and Cat, just after they pulled in front of the DJ to get a bottle of sparkling |
|
 |
| The lifesaving corner of the club |
 |
| The organising committee, well on the way to being seriously pissed |
 |
| Lifesavers taking up the bulk of the dance floor |
 |
| Laura and some bloke from Birmingham (John apparently) get off, with the Birmingham randoms in the background, demonstrating it was a sucessful social for pulling |
|
 |
| We continue to fill the dance floor, and it can be seen that Cat had pulled |
 |
| It was all too much for one poor fresher... |
 |
| Alex and Louise from Nottingham discuss tactics (her team beat his...) |
 |
| Moshing! |
 |
| Cat and Laura, strangely devoid of their randoms |
|
 |
| Aimee and the ever well behaved Nicola |
 |
| Nick and Alex, the GS boys |
 |
| Cat and bloke (Chris from Birmingham) but just what are they up to? |
 |
| Birmingham John and Cambridge (Dan, co-leader of social group 2) mingle |
|
 |
| Cat and her random shot 1 .... |
 |
| ... and alternate shot 2. |
 |
| Aww, don't they look cute? |
 |
| Laura goes for the Blair witch look |
|
 |
| Nicola and Stu find the last pack of iced gems |
 |
| Delightful... |
 |
| If you didn't know better, you might be forgiven for thinking Cat was actually one of us... |
|
 |
| Loughborough, thankfully not dressed as Angels this year |
 |
| Yet another couple, or were they? Apparently, it's Blondie from Southampton and some other... |
|
 |
| Perhaps loughborough as angels would've been better... |
 |
| We finally locate our social sec Greg, who was so pissed he didn't know/care that he'd hardly met my sister before... |
