Because the old trophy had been lost by<br />
Darwin last year, they got us a new one,<br />
which we brought home with us and will<br />
fight to keep in future years.<br />
The day ended with a very special bop<br />
that featured a Darwin DJ and a great<br />
performance by the Darwin band ‘The<br />
Galapagogos’. Once again, regardless of<br />
who won (and we did, in case you ask), the<br />
event was enjoyed by all concerned and<br />
brought us closer to our sister college: we<br />
are all students living much the same life,<br />
and belong to the same family whichever<br />
place we come from. We look forward to<br />
welcoming our distant cousins here next<br />
year, and giving them just the same friendly<br />
experience they gave us, but not including<br />
the trophy.<br />
Good luck, Darwin. See you all next year!<br />

Another big year started with<br />
three exchange dinners in<br />
Michaelmas, with Lady Margaret Hall, Linacre<br />
and St Antony’s. We organised a trip to<br />
Bath and another to the ‘Lion King’ musical<br />
in London. In Hilary, three more exchange<br />
dinners were held, with Green Templeton,<br />
St Peter’s and Brasenose, as well as a wine<br />
and cheese exchange with Worcester and<br />
Regent’s Park. We made a trip to London to<br />
watch ‘The Book of Mormon’ musical, and<br />
we organised an event to support the Boat<br />
Race in April. Trinity came bringing good<br />
weather which we took advantage of, by<br />
enjoying exchange dinners with St Anne’s<br />
and Somerville, as well as a trip to Brighton<br />
and another to the last performance of<br />
the famous musical ‘Aladdin’. The year has<br />
been rich in enjoyable events, and we look<br />
forward to even more in Michaelmas <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

An amazing year, with five bops<br />
and a concert. We started<br />
in Freshers’ Week with the Alphabop. In<br />
Hilary we hosted Bop Through the Ages,<br />
a history-themed bop which resulted in<br />
lots of creative, time-bending costumes<br />
and the birth of a new cocktail, Tincture of<br />
Wolfblood. We followed this up with a more<br />
relaxed event, an eclectig gig by Lithuanian<br />
folk singer Andy Vaic (St Anne’s) who chose<br />
the Wolfson Bar as the venue for his first<br />
solo performance in Oxford. Then came<br />
MmmBop, the biggest party of the year: this<br />
90s-themed bop in the Hall and Haldane<br />
Room is always a great success. The first bop<br />
in Trinity was cartoon-themed, with lots of<br />
colourful characters dancing about, and we<br />
ended the academic year like the true nerds<br />
we all are, with a fantasy-themed bop that<br />
turned Wolfson into a world of dragons,<br />
elves and wizards.<br />
Environment Team<br />
by Angelina Palmén<br />
The Environment (‘Green’) Team<br />
has continued its work as a forum<br />
open to all members of Common<br />
Room, meeting twice a term to raise<br />
and discuss ideas for new environmental<br />
initiatives, and to devise plans of how to<br />
work with different <strong>College</strong> departments to<br />
realise them.<br />
Improving communications has been one<br />
of our key initiatives. In Michaelmas, the<br />
Green Team made its presence known<br />
at the Freshers’ Fair with environmentalthemed<br />
giveaways and collecting sign-ups<br />
for food recycling bins. We have updated the<br />
‘Sustainability’ tab on the <strong>College</strong> website,<br />
moving it to a more logical area under<br />
‘Accommodation’ to give those living on site<br />
