The University of York Hockey Club held its yearly initiation ceremony on the bowling green outside Langwith bar last week. The ceremony, which involved such bizarre rituals as drinking week-old chocolate milk from a Wellington boot, drinking a bottle of wine through a fish-head and drinking an entire can of Carlsberg, caused all participants to be sick, in some cases four or five times. One bemused onlooker was heard to comment: “Well, that was extremely odd.”
