Christchurch Regatta

They came, they rowed, they succeeded in giving us the most entertaining race of the history of the business school. Three cheers for the Templeton boys!

Thanks to Mike McFadden for this short film on the action of the day!

Here is the official Regatta site. If anyone wants me to highlight their involvement or has any good photos, please let me know and I will add them to this page.

This is all in anticipation of THE boat race between Oxford and Cambridge which will take place on Sunday, 2 April next year. Go dark blues!

Varsity Rugby Match

The much anticipated Varsity Rugby Match is just around the corner. This is one of THE events of the year, and should not be missed.













Details:
Date: 6th December
Kick off: 14.00
Venue: Twickenham Stadium (the home of English Rugby, in West London)

Fast Facts: The Varsity Match has been played since 1872, and held at Twickenham since 1921 Twickenham seats 75,000 people (great atmosphere!) The varsity match is televised and watched by millions of people all over the world.

In order to make the most of the experience, I thought it would be good to block-book a bunch of tickets so that we can all sit together and support our boys on mass! So, I am volunteering to buy tickets on everyone's behalf this Saturday. If you want to come and haven't already got your ticket, read on...

FRIDAY 25th NOVEMBER: 5.30pm - 6.30pm - Sign up I will base myself at one of the tables in the corner of the common room THIS FRIDAY from 5.30-6.30pm I will collect NAMES and CASH (no money, no ticket!) Student tickets are £7 (bargain)

FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER: 5.30pm - 6.30pm - ticket collection I will base myself at one of the tables in the corner of the common room from 5.30pm - 6.30pm Please come by and collect your tickets

I am looking into transportation options, e.g hiring a bus to take a bunch of people, depending on demand. If that doesn't work out, the other options can be found at the Twickenham Stadium website.

Please feel free to show your appreciation for my hard work in the form of beer during happy hour!! And one last request - if you have questions, please come and find me rather than inundate me with emails - my inbox is already out of control.

Thanks
Claire Pullinger

4-1 Victory

Richard Webb writes...

Fellow SBS classmates,

This is a quick note to let you know that your humble servants, the SBS Football Club, were successful in the first game of the campaign.

The 4-1 victory over Pembroke College last Thursday was incredibly enjoyable for all those who participated. I think I speak for all when I say that we are all just so pleased to be playing the beautiful game here in such fine company and under the SBS banner.

Onward and upward lads -

Halloween Happy Hour

Well, considering the timing of our appointment, the first event put on my the newly appointed 2005 Sports and Social Reps was a roaring success.

You guessed it, there was a Halloween theme, and several students (admittedly more American) in the class, really put in an effort and came dressed to scare! Here are some of the highlights...



Did someone forget do do up a button at the back?



A chick...



... magnet



...the three (not very scary) witches







As we came to the end of a very eventful Week 3 of our course, it was a great time to let down our hair and show our true colour to a few of our new friends.

Happy Halloween all.
