Before we start next season, it's time to reflect on the achievements of 2016/2017 and immortalise the great players and hapless comedians of the past year. For those looking for the unofficial blogpost with details of the revellry, hop on over to Robyn and Simon's entry.
To wrap up the 2016/2017 Season, club social secretaries Ali Edge and Meg Barne whipped up a delight in the belly of Lucy Cavendish college (a new venue this year!) for 84 club members (+1 for virtual attendance by the M1 captain on his wedding night). After a restorative meal to wash down the unrestrained revelry, the majority of the evening was given over to handing a bullion of fake gold over to Joe Whittaker, on behalf of all the award recipients, as follows.
