Tolkien Varsity quiz

CTS met our opposite numbers, had lunch, and repaired to Newnham for the quiz. It went pretty well -- I was just watching but the questions seem not beyond the possibility of knowing, and there were several innovative rounds (articulate, map, and unfortunately not pin the tail on the balrog), and I got to say 'hi' to some old friends. However, I had to rush off to...

Poohsoc

The Annual General Meeting. As always, very silly, and very funny. We elected Mysterious Californian Girl to president, and just about filled out a complete committee, admittedly resorting to electing people in London and China, being before I forget. Pres: MCG. Sec: Alex Beetle. Undersec: Andy-in-China. Foreign Sec: Lisa. Home sec: me. Treasurer: James-outgoing-president. CR (casting vote): Owen. James (finding innuendo and abstaining): Ben.

There are lots of good candidates for James (innendo is our business), but unfortunately they're all more urgently needed in another role. M, if you're reading, I proposed you, but Ben won out by being there.

Ghoti's party

Ghoti's naked party was fun. I was worried it was going to be awkward, but it was entirely nice people I'm relaxed around, and we had fun playing geeky strip games, and no-one was offended by my not being Zeus, and we ate pizza. Thank you for organising it.

Wow, a naked party. That sounds terribly fun. How many people were there?

I'm glad mysterious Californian girl became president, she seemed to be really in to it. Does she have a LJ?

Yes, I do :)

I thought she should, but I was worried she was going to be self-deprecating and we were going to have to persuade (or maybe just outright elect) her to do it. That's what normally happens in elections. But as it happened she was happy to take charge and displayed stunning knowledge of Winnie-the-Pooh lines and excellent Jam taste.
