For the Students, From the Students!
Keen Freshers arrived by the trailer load yesterday for the first day of their new chapter, embarking on the Harper Adams journey of intoxicated drinking, the bank balance sinking; but of course not forgetting about educational thinking..
The sports hall was filled with excitable wardens from each halls, ready to meet and mother their new flocks of 'baa' ready freshlings. Everyone was introduced to their flat mates and new homes for this next year before setting out on intoxicating inquests, patrolling across the campus in search of the SU bar.
12 Days of Freshers kicked off in true blue style last night in the Harper SU bar with 'informal' introductions of the new Students Union members and Student President serving Harper Adams this academic year. The Harper anthem was sung from the hearts of spectating Freshers as the SU members chugged their pints of cider at an extraordinary pace.
Of course we had to commence the battle of the halls, the largest not always being the mightiest with Bradford, Boughey and Ward screaming and shouting from clusters of red, blue and pink tops inside the bar. Larger halls Gloucester and Harris dominated with a sea of dark blue and purple alongside hints of green from Flatt Road, a splash of turquoise from Pitchside and a dazzling yellow from Courtside.
Our Headlining act of the evening was Djing duo REDLINE! Having appeared at previous Harper events and Balls, REDLINE knew exactly how to kick off the evening in true blue style!
As the clock struck 2am, there was the odd stumble and zig zag patterned walk as Freshers trawled the campus, returning to what was left of their first night in their Harper Adams beds.
So the pints went down, the halls shirts were off, how about we re-live the whole thing again tonight?
It's RAG icebreaker night! Be sure to arrive with your shirt fully written up with fun facts about you and be prepared to get ticking off that bucket list of tasks on the back. We'll see you tonight again Freshers for another rareee night of Harper Madness!
