The third event for the Nevill cup was chess. This was one of the better instances of chess I'd seen in recent years, as I've only seen two and this one was better. We played in the dark which provided an excellent tense atmosphere. The end result? A draw, 2 wins, 2 losses and a stalemate.

Recently we had a cam event, Tennis against Knox. To put it simply, the competition was furious, and in the end Selwyn came out drawing the men and losing the girls, absolutely fantastic play though, and a joy to watch

Traditionally I think of wine and cheese as an upper class thing where people pretend to be aristocratically based and pretend to know the best the two can offer and have an infinitely unmatched palette, well, we tried to do that, and it seems everyone just had a whole lot of wine and compensated with cheese, cheddar style.

So the second Nevill event was held well over three weeks ago at Otago universities own Castle building, an ideal location for another cultural square off with Knox. The result? Selwyn came out victorious once more 20-0 to us, fantastic play. Definitely some of the highlights included the rampant scoring of our members, the character stereotypes and the fun everyone had watching Selwyn's best defeat the dirty Knoxies once more, relish in these photos, I took way too many of course!

This photoblog is an accompaniment to Jimmy's blog about Mid-Semester Antics. I have to say this was probably the best week off I've ever had in my life, with a multitude of activities to do with a small group of people. A bonding experience not to be missed, I recommend that people stave off visiting their parents for a week in the middle of a semester and have a great time in Selwyn.
