Life-Stories Event<br />
The fourth annual Life-Stories Event was held in the Haldane Room on 13 May<br />
<strong>2013</strong>, organized by Timothy Wyman-McCarthy, Grace Egan, Nicoletta Demetriou<br />
and Andy Cutts, in collaboration with the President, Hermione Lee.<br />
A 40-strong audience was treated to a wonderful variety of contributions by<br />
eleven Wolfsonians, which ranged from learning about how noisy Wolfson is to an<br />
unfortunate food incident whilst travelling in Beijing, with some songs and poetry<br />
thrown in for good measure. Speakers used their four-minute contributions to<br />
reveal aspects of their lives and to show hidden passions or talents, each participant<br />
being given a fictitious and humorous biography before they performed. An interval<br />
allowed audience members to discuss what had been seen over a glass of wine.<br />
Before this humorous and thought-provoking set of life-stories, the audience and<br />
participants dined on a sumptuous international buffet where there were many<br />
opportunities to meet new friends and catch up with old ones, whilst speculating<br />
about the evening to come. It was an extremely enjoyable evening, and the event is<br />
now very much a key part of <strong>College</strong> life.<br />
