1. Amazing Race
Want to know more about/show off your knowledge on the interesting
trivia and less known facts about Cambridge? No time to sightsee? Not
sure how to get to the various locations other than your college and
department? Just want to run around and stand a chance to win ATTRACTIVE
FOOD VOUCHERS AT VARIOUS FOOD OUTLTES!
If you think you are up for a challenge to answer the most challenging
set of Cambridge trivia quiz yet, if you think you can outwit, outlast
and outrun all other teams, come join us for THE BEST reality show in
Cambridge ever.... THE AMAZING RACE: CAMBRIDGE EDITION!
When?
17th October 2009, 2.30-4.30pm
Where?
Parker's Piece, near Pizza Hut
How to join?
Send in your name, college, number and CRSid (Hermes email) to Grace at

by Thursday if you have not done so at the freshers
squash
And before we end off this announcement, we bring you:
TIPS ON HOW TO WIN THE AMAZING RACE
1) Knowing where the oldest college is not enough, you need to be know
the whole 800 years of history of Cambridge like the back of your hands,
and this could be done either by digging deep deep into university
library (if you can find it.. HAHAHAHA) or, simply, read everything you
can find about this old university town on this website called wikipedia.org
2) Get your hands on a coveted piece of Cambridge map. I'm very sure you
do not need one that shows the exact location of Girton on the map.
Alternatively, get a GPS. And your last resort is to pray you get a
senior who knows the way.
3) Practice self-shooting. You never know when this might come in handy.
4) Jog more! Get used to running in this cool weather so you can outrun
the other teams!
Grace and Clara

Floorball this week will be from 2-5pm this Sunday! There is a slight
chance I might not be able to book the Jesus tennis courts so if that's
the case we might play at Christ's pieces tennis courts instead. This is
just a heads up in case I can't get the courts so just come to Jesus
unless told otherwise!
