Monday 12^th of December 2022: The Hot Green Beany will be held from 7:30pm on Monday 12^th of December, starting in The Empress (corner of St Philip’s Road and Thoday Street, near Mill Road). For the uninitiated, the Hot Green Beany is a traditional end-of-year bonus pub crawl (it does not “count" towards the normal pub tour) of venues with trivia machines, where CUTwC fails to win enough money to buy poppadoms at a subsequent curry. The name comes from Droogs, who on being presented with a chicken jalfrezi at the end of the crawl asked “what are these hot green beany things?" This year it appears that the Empress is the only pub in Cambridge still retaining a trivia machine (post-COVID), so the entire evening may be spent there, possibly with a diversion to bar billiards. One would expect curry to happen in the Curry Queen. Please don’t slip over on the ice.

Easter Term 2021

Tuesday 29^th of June 2021: Tomorrow is, confusingly, a Wednesday and the 30^th of June, which causes insuperable difficulties for the President because someone had the cheek to schedule a graduands’ dinner on that evening. The AGM is therefore most likely to be held on July 7^th instead, except that it’s an EGM because it’s not Term any more, with the meeting of June 30^th a standard (ordinary but not general) meeting as (these days) usual via Zoom from 7:30pm.

In 1961 he donated the Silver Wink trophy for inter-university matches, contested many times since and currently held by CUTwC. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
Tuesday 6^th of April 2021: There will be a Zoom meeting on Wednesday 7^th of April from 7:30pm, although only briefly with a President.

Michaelmas Term 1998

Thursday 22^nd of October 1998

Whoops. Yes, sorry, The Moment Of Truth is on the 24^th, not the 31^st, as I’d previously put it on the calendar.

Tuesday 20^th of October 1998

You may have noticed that there was no pub crawl on Saturday (oops — actually, I should have corrected this before — I hope no-one turned up), and that there was no sign of Dr Purvis on the 10^th. The crawl will now happen on the 24^th, which is also the new transmission date for the winking Moment of Truth.

To avoid further confusion, there’s now a calendar above [edit: updated for Lent/Easter], which should make it easier to correct this kind of thing. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Also, belatedly, the Nick Ashley Trophy is running this term.

14^th October, 8pm, The Erasmus Room, Queens’ College: The first full meeting of term: The President’s Memorial Pint
