In January, we hosted the fourth annual Magdalene-Magdalen Sports Day. Over 150 students travelled from Oxford to compete in 12 sports, including rugby, football, tennis, basketball and darts. Magdalene, Cambridge, was particularly successful in the lacrosse, hockey and darts matches. The day was a great success and we all look forward to travelling to Oxford next year. Our Freshers’ Rep, Will, organised a refreshers’ week at the beginning of term, involving students from all years in activities ranging from a movie night to a pub quiz in the bar. Sabrina, our Ents Officer, organised two very popular bops with the themes ‘Back to School’ and ‘ABC’. She and Will ran a very convivial Wedding Formal for the first years to celebrate their College Marriages, with a photographer to provide long lasting memories of the day. Sabrina’s hard work ensured that there was a lot of fun to be had among the student body during Lent.
