Star Letter: Refined Rugby
I would just like to say well done to the rugby club on their excellent behaviour on initiation night. I am a barman at the Deramore Arms and felt the coverage in Vision just did not do the club justice.
Luckily perhaps, I did not work on last year’s initiation night. So all I can say is in the vast majority of the time the rugby players behaved brilliantly and deserves congratulation. There were more like 60 members of the club present in the Deramore Arms and they spent almost £800, yet there was not one incident all night. In fact most of the second and third years stayed sober to keep the freshers likewise to avoid any trouble.
Ok, I just don’t understand why they have the bizarre desire to get naked, chant stupid songs, and make new players drink an obscene amount of alcohol but that’s rugby players I suppose. What is clear is that they have cleaned up their act.
In fact they cleaned up their act so much they stayed on late and cleaned up all the mess they made. So much so the pub was in better shape after they left than before they arrived.
Also it’s worth mentioning that Nik Engineer did a great job by bringing down lollies for them to suck on as they left. It did keep them quiet. Lets hope it kept the Heslington residents happy.
Evidently the letter from the rugby club about Vision’s attendance shows Vision were not properly informed. That’s shown by the number of factual mistakes in their articles. Lets hope they are fairer in future.
