The College Record 2022

Reports and College Activities
The Provost’s Garden, dressed up in red and a giant chess board, was the Red
Queen’s castle. The Beer Cellar was filled with petit fours, cakes, tea and coffee
for the Mad Hatter’s tea party. The Front Quad facade was lit up with a mapped
projection of liquid animations of playing cards and chess boards.
The Hoosiers and Boney M headlined the main stage in Back Quad. “Rasputin” and
“Goodbye Mr A” were highlights that definitely got the crowd going! The Fellow’s
Garden was home to the rave tent, with local and student DJs playing dance music
until 3am. Jager bombs kept everyone going until 5am when the silent disco ended
and people headed home for some sleep.
The committee of 14 worked throughout year to put the event on, with the incredible
help of the College staff.
CRICKET CLUB
Captain Ciaran Sandhu
Trinity Term 2022 welcomed a return to College cricket and we assembled a vibrant
team of both complete newcomers and seasoned cricketers. We placed 3rd in the
Fortress T20 league, narrowly missing qualification against familiar rivals Lincoln and
Keble from last year, as well as new rivals in Teddy Hall and Somerville. Unfortunately,
our T20 Cuppers run was also cut short in an agonisingly close game against Keble,
in which we defended a highly respectable total of 202-3 up until the last ball of the
final over.
Nevertheless, while 2022 did not produce any silverware, there were several
individual achievements worth noting. Fred Newbold was the highest wicket taker
and 50s were hit by Chris Rimmer, Henry Patteson, and Johann Perera. These strong
performances took place against a backdrop of clinical fielding with the jovial spirit
of Queen’s sport always present.
