Just a quick update from the Res Grad team about the other events that have been going on in boarding this term...
Lynn Finnegan and I kicked started the term with a boarders trip to the E.I.S in Sheffield to watch a Sheffield Sharks British Basketball League game (see picture). After arriving bang on tip off and finding our seats behind the team bench, the Sharks got off to a hairy start. A few hot dogs and half time free throws later however, the crowd really got behind the team and they came back to beat Leicester Riders 100-81. A thrilling game that was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
Following that, came the Valentines pampering session led by Fran Piddleston and I. There were mud masks galore and the odd marshmallow was sneakily consumed. The girls of Rowntree house felt very relaxed and beautified in preparation for the following nights' DISCO. This will become a regular feature before disco nights due to popular demand!
Suzi Tibbetts has also started a college film night, which will show case the top 10 films that one must see before going to college and judging by the turn out in its first week this will be a great success.
Last night Suzi, Lynn and I took a boarders trip to see the X-factor at Sheffield arena and after enduring many traffic jams, it was a fantastic night... watch this space for a full report and pictures of this event!
In the final 2 weeks of this term the fun just does not stop!!! Lynn and I are taking a trip to the see the Hull Stingrays Elite Men's Ice Hockey team both on and off the rink, Suzi is leading a college and seniors trip to see Alice in Wonderland 3D, the ever popular climbing club run by Robert Sandercock is moving to a new centre in Harrogate and last but by no means least, the whole graduate team will be running an Easter Egg hunt for all boarders the weekend before we break up.
That's all for now...
