And the winners are…

…Slay Belles!

Congratulations to the winners who romped away with 703 points.

The judges would like to say thanks to everyone who entered this year. We have been highly amused and will be posting some of our favourite items on the website in the coming weeks. We hope that those of you who entered this year, and who are around next year, will enter again and take on the challenge of a new list!

We’ll do a summary during the summer with photos and all that - if you want any of the photos, just email us and we’ll sort something out.

PLAN FOR TONIGHT

Hello all,

We have been thoroughly entertained in New Hall Bar - an impressive scale model of the solar system, a fully working volcano, some toto-ing of fellows…

AFTER 9PM:

SUBMIT ALL YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO: cuscavengerhunt@googlemail.com

My hermes isn’t really able to cope with all the videos so please send them to the google. We will watch all the submissions,

This is how a 10 second summary should be done!

And yes, we do realise it is 11 seconds - but it’s so good we just don’t care!

Good Morning

The judges are installed back in New Hall bar and have updated the scores with the points scored yesterday.

We are currently in the process of going through all of your email submissions and will add points as and when we award them.

JUDGES MOVED TO THE BATH HOUSE!

Due to The Eagle being packed, the judges have moved to The Bath House next door!

Comments

We are now heading to The Eagle

After a late surge of teams at New Hall, the judges are now on their way to The Eagle!

Comments

Toto-tastic

So far teams have managed to Toto one judge three times.

Keep the submissions coming in - the judges want to be ENTERTAINED!!!

Plus we have heard rumours of people dressed in pants on King’s Parade - the judges can’t wait to see the video/photographic evidence.

p.s. if anyone can find us a gluten free cheesecake (that they can give to us) they will earn themselves some bonus points

Decidedly Mediocre

A late entry consisting of Bryan Ghosh, Simon Gibbons, Donald Ross, Christine Yallup, Adam Wills. (Sidney Sussex)

Lunchtime Update!

So far we have had two groups venture up the hill and show us their best efforts.

Check out the scores page to see up to date scoring.

New Hall bar does not know what has hit it!!!!

Comments

And we’re off!

HTML is not being very nice to us. The New Hall wireless has choked us. AND we were late to meet the teams. But it’s now up and running!

Welcome to Scavenger Hunt 2009!

Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to secure a room at the Union so you guys will have to come up to New Hall for the next two days.

We’re in the bar - if you come up the hill and walk through the plodge, turn left at the end of the pigeonholes and the bar is the second door on the right. We’re downstairs!!

Captain Ben and His Merry Wenches

Team Members: Megan Williams, Louise Anthony, Sarah Leiter and Rebecca Gemmell- all first year Newnham medics, plus Ben Gadsby, a first year Homertonian mathmo.

They want to dress as pirates. That’s good enough for me!

Madness?

Team Members: Nick Russell, Monika Sobiecki, Andrena Ball, Simon Woolf, Ludmila Demtchenko (until 09:00 Thursday, Alice Mannion thereafter)

A full-bodied wine with generous fruit, nicely balanced by oak which would make an ideal accompaniment to red meats and cheese. Serve at room temperature.

Slay Belles

Team Members: Joshua Blanchard Lewis (Jesus), Emily Scragg (NH), Miriam Backens (NH), Dominic Carr (Clare) and Amy Booth (Clare)

A disparate group of quirky individuals whose only common feature - apart from their dashing charm and tremendous sex appeal - is their Terrible Dark Secret. Tremble at shadows, quiver at night, for they are all-knowing and omnipotent, and none shall withstand their onslaught!

There are 3 of them…and they like buildings and food.

Ruth and the Cake-o-nauts

Team Members: Christopher Berry, Alex Rea, Dan Oliver, Gen Zhang, Felix Nissen

Returning from last year under a slightly different name with a slightly
different team… A crew of fourth year Churchillian physicists with
nothing left to lose.

Dave Can’t Do It

Team Members: Matt, Laurie, Laura, Doug and James (all from Fitz)

What they have to say for themselves: “We are a team entirely without Daves ( which is a shame, as we like Dave.)  We have combined the forces of earth, wind and computer science with the smoothness of Jim Reeves and the logic of Jonathan Creek. We are determined. Even Dave thinks we can do it. And Dave is a genius.

The Sussexy Stalins

Team Members: Roger Clarke, Sam Kirsop, Alex Campsie, Greg Styger, Mark Sommerfeld (1st day), Abigail Schultz (2nd day)

After much deliberation, they’ve called themselves “The Sussexy Stalins” (apparently there are reasons behind it…)

Comments

Sparta

Team Members: William Barter, Daniel Hine, Steven Shenton, Matt Taylor, Elena Yudovina
