2016’s beach party started in the usual fashion, with plenty of
pre-party stress and it seeming like nothing was going to plan. The weather
forecast wasn’t looking promising, the spas were nowhere to be seen, and of
course the inflatable pool had holes in it. Regardless of this through sheer
will of the team everything came together in the end, the drinks were ready,
the spas and jelly wrestling pool were in place and we were all ready to party!
This year’s party drew roughly 80 people, slightly smaller than
previous years but nonetheless the atmosphere was positive with plenty of new
students in the mix. This year we went with a new food, hiring the Burglary
food truck to cater for the event, which was a resounding success with their
Heisenburger being a hit. The favourite drink of the night was the frozen
margaritas from our good looking bartender Jill, which were particularly potent
in tequila.
When it came to 10:30 it was time to roll out the star attraction of
every beach party, the jelly wrestling. The involvement in this year’s
wrestling was phenomenal with old favourites joining in, as well as new
students. The showdown began with favourites Tom Morrall and Ollie Dolbey, with
Ollie emerging victorious and going on to win many more matches. One of the favourite
moves seen in the night was between myself and Tom, with a classic legs around
the neck and a body slam, with the both of us walking away with our necks
unbroken.
The spas got a good workout throughout the night with both being
consistently full of party-goers, keen for a soak while drinking a cool
beverage. The party started to die off around midnight before finally wrapping
up around 12:30. Stay tuned for announcements for the next one!
