ACC shows its true colours

After there being talk of one for the past few years, we finally managed to pull it off - an ACC colours dinner. Kicking off at 7.30pm in the union dining hall, there was a distinct lack of medieval fancy-dress, but I think that anyone actually contemplating it was probably relieved when they hadn’t gone ahead with it. With the quasi-medieval style food and excessive amounts of wine going down nice and easy leading to the main event - the colours presentation. The colours are awarded as follows (bearing in mind that anyone receiving colours of any kind had to down a pint):

Full colours - for those of ULU standard or higher but who are still committed to their IC team.

Half colours - for those competing at a high standard in their team.

Social colours - for members who have put a lot of effort into their club throughout the year.

This year two new awards were introduced by the union which were named Sports Person and Sports Personality of the year. Congratulations to everybody who received colours. It was an excellent night and I hope it will become a perennial event. Thanks go to the union staff.
