Quoth the ETwA T.O. of the NHIPper on Saturday: As this tournament consists of 7 rounds, we ideally want to get things going ASAP on the day. As such we won’t wait until 10:30am to do a draw and start the first round. All games in the first round are to be started no later than the previously advertised squidge off time of 10:30am. This means that if you want to be in the draw for the first round, I would highly recommend aiming to arrive for 10am. The aim is to play 3 rounds before lunch if at all possible.

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.

Apparently there may also be sick bats, or something. (Which is odd, I thought that was ebolavirus, not COVID-19.)

He was, of course, the originator of his eponymous trophy, which ends every term. He is a great loss to the game, to ETwA and to CUTwC, and we send our commiserations to his family and many friends.

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.
