In Cuppers itself, Wolfson was able to recruit<br />

its own Frisbee team and reached a very<br />

respectable fourth place, playing the whole<br />

day without any substitutions.<br />

Volleyball<br />

by Alba Rosa Piacenti<br />

The University Volleyball team<br />

included three members<br />

from Wolfson (Pinar, Julia and Alba) and<br />

competed in the British Universities and<br />

<strong>College</strong>s Sports premier south, achieving<br />

fifth place against some of the best teams<br />

in England, and sixth place in the student<br />

cup. In the annual Varsity match they<br />

beat Cambridge 3–1, thanks to the many<br />

Wolfsonians who came to support their<br />

Blues.<br />

REPORTS<br />

Winter Ball<br />

by Carolina Rivas-McQuire<br />

This year’s Winter Ball on 1<br />

December was inspired by<br />

Alice in Wonderland. Tickets sold out within<br />

hours, and numbers were the highest ever,<br />

with 650 guests. It brought Wonderland’s<br />

favourite characters to life in a plethora of<br />

acts ranging from musicians to magicians,<br />

from acrobats to actors. The Committee<br />

is forever grateful to Tracy Fuzzard, Barry<br />

Coote and the <strong>College</strong> catering and<br />

maintenance staff, not to mention Sir Tim<br />

Hitchens, who lent us his own giant teacup<br />

for the evening. We must also thank all those<br />

who gave their time and dedication, by<br />

serving on the committee or by helping in<br />

other ways: more than 450 paper butterflies<br />

were made by hand for the occasion. We<br />

are proud of our achievement and can’t wait<br />

for next year.<br />
