Scavenger Hunt 2019

Match Report;

'Twas a crisp and pleasant evening. However in the distance, deep in the west end, 4 teams of avid kayakers were readying their costumes and preparing for an expedition to not remember. The meet point? Bank Street. The time? 7pm.

7pm rolls round and cops and robbers are on fine form, already at the bar. At the helm of this team are the two finest officers of the GUCC police force: Ruari and Stefan. Poor freshers.

20 minutes later the other teams decide to actually turn up. Hippies, school staff and a mini- golf windmill all descended on Bank Street for the evenings proceedings. This can only mean one thing. That's right. Time for a boat race. Fi and Iona's hippies put in a fine performance, as did the team dressed like school kids (quite aptly managed by Cini and Kirsty.) Cops team are a shambles, not even the mighty Paddy can save them. Pints everywhere, useless. The golfing team? Honestly, no idea, I was too deep in my pint at this point.

With that shambles out of the way it was time to recieve the challenges. Emily diligently handed out the goodie bags of egg, toilet roll and straws (what could possibly go wrong?) Scav hunt 2019 is underway.

It seems there was a variety of approaches to the evening. Team hippie and golf are off, straight into their challenges and set off into the night on a mission to win. Team school also disappear but they immediately go to GUU, legends.

Cops aren't off to a much better start. After using Paddy to hide the egg in the GUSA office they go straight for Vodka Wodka. This "lets just go to the pub" strategy seems to be shared by cops and hippies as when the groups met at Vodka Wodka they just decided to stay. A game of never have I ever breaks out. Ruari and Stefan definitely need to go to confession more often. Why did we leave them with freshers? Greg Mathieson defects briefly, then starts a water fight. Interesting moves from the man wearing a rug.

Where are school and golf? Honestly no idea, probably doing challenges or something. As the night speeds on the cops find themselves at the library. The 12th floor is a scary place. Paddy elects to distract the security while they ascend. He somehow blags a hot dog?

The time is around 2130. Both cops and hippies have abandoned the scav hunt for the warmth and acceptance of Beer Bar. Both teams kitty money is rapidly exchanged for some happy juice. This is to be followed with the presumed missing Paddy arriving with 2 crates of VKs. Outstanding. Tear in my eye.

Other teams eventually made it to Beer Bar (except some of the school team, I guess it was a week night?) and decide also to just drink. Another water fight breaks out, cmon guys. I know you like being wet but this is ridiculous. Chaos.

Vicious rumors of Sanctuary float in the air, could it be true? Is this our destiny? Well this author doesn't know but I assume it was a fun boogie.

GUCC it was a pleasure.
