Beerin and Teerin!

The next event in the agric social calendar and possibly the most famous....Beerin and Teerin!!! An orienteering course around 10 pubs in Edinburgh! But obviously its not quite as simple as that, with 3 members of the team cable tied together, an egg to be kept intact and several items to be found along the way! Funnily enough everyone knew a source of strawberry condoms however some guys were more willing to give them up than others!!

As well as all of this lets not forget the most important part...downing the drinks! Some of the committee members were harsher than others though, downing red wine in one pub to wee Bobby's concoction of baileys, lime and a raw egg!!?












They seemed to manage fine though!!!

All seven teams made it back, however its debatable whether or not they were in one piece!
After all calculations were made the winning team was Sven's Tartan Army!!














They definately suffered for their victory!!!

A special mention of the night goes out to Paddy and the ginger first year!! Split up from teams of 5 they battled out just the 2 of them! Some committee members thought they should be punished for losing their team with a few extra drinks and so arrived back at Siglo completely seshed and a lot later than everyone else!!! Well played you guys!

Freshers Reception

THE FRESHERS RECEPTION!! The eagerly awaited first wednesday out of the new term for all agrics, old and new! A chance for the old to catch up and the new to be initiated into the flock!! Poor things!! This initiation started with drinks in KB house at 5pm in order to lull them in to a false sense of security. The turnout was a bit disappointing...had some of them all ready heard what was in store?!

6pm: The multi-story car park and the unlucky few! The look of fear as the 2nd years appeared in cars to take them to their as yet unknown destination!!?





Being such kind and friendly guys the 2nd years decided that a drink would be needed in order to keep them going on the long walk home!









Its not surprising someone was sick...eh Fermer??!

After this it was thought that they were still too sober and so other complications were added, in true agric style!!

The first years were then given a nice tour of Edinburgh. Shame they were blindfolded.......

and you guys really didn't have to make them walk back!! (especially fermer....Fife isn't really somewhere you would go for a walk?!?)

The Freshers Reception - Part 2!

For everyone else the freshers reception started in Siglo at 8pm! It was a relief that the first years also slowly arrived back, unfortunately some were there even before we were.....Fife obviously wasn't far enough away!!

It was then down to the committee to keep everyone entertained for the rest of the evening with a variety of drinking games. It would seem though that the drinking had already gone too far and the games then turned into a bit of a shambles!!



The famous boat race, something that happens maybe more often than we would like but as they say...practise makes perfect!!!


Its a well known fact that agrics will eat anything for a bet you can't, we didn't think they would go this far though, just for a game!! Anchovies?? Really??!





But it came down to the ex agrics to show the rest how it was done.......



I think the rest of the night got worse after this and as usual it was Cavendish that had to deal with us!! Although memories are a bit hazy, a good night was undoubtedly had by all!!
