Well things really have got going here at Hereford, we have had all the students in this week, first years arrived on Monday and then all our second and third years arrived yesterday .. ............all be it very hungover!!! There was a pirate night organised by the studens union and everyone was in quite a state by the morning, so there was a lot of coffee and chatting to start the morning off!!
As a bit of an ice breaker (like the pirate evening wasnt enough!) all the first years were tasked with creating a spagetti brige in a team. it may sound quite straight forward but we ended up with some very complex designs, there were helicopters and suspension bridges!! The aim of the game is to create the strongest bridge which streched over the river (a tin foil strip) which was teasted for its strengh by Ambrose, who is our Blacksmithing tutor, using anvils and steel stakes!
There were prizes for the best design, contruction and of course, a prize for the bridge that lasted the longest under pressure!! quite a full day! and this morning they have all gone to Attingham park today, more of that to follow......
