STORIES :

The lighthouse models were tested for stability against Mrs Caiger-Smith hair dryer... challenging!

No serious hang-over was reported following the Cook-on-Board competition, yet some of the meals served were exotic and spicy!

The key question during the Sunday prize giving lunch was : "will the poular pressure applied on the alumni from Bocconi strong enough for them to produce the long awaited first Mediterranean edition of the ABCup?".
