its fantastic! every vet school has a fancy dress theme and the 5th years have there own theme as well. you all travel down on coachs on the friday in you costume. drinking (if you drink of ocurse) starts on the bus, so you end up with many drunk vets in service stations lol. you have a night out on the friday (usually in the guild or similar of the uni). you crash at any willing random hosting vets house with loads of others (its amazing how many people can fit in how small a space). sat you have the sports compeition but most people (esp dublin vets!!) are drunk or very hungover. the sports are rugby(mens and womens), football(mens and womens), hockey(mixed), netball, basketball (mixed) and then some random competitoins like iron stomach competition. Then you have some kind of bar crawl back to the base or guild or whatever on the sat night and crash at (usualy) the same persons house as thats were you stuff is. you then have a hungover jouney back on the sunday. the costumes are mostly for the fri night. you get t shirts that have solgans on and say your vet school etc as well. for example liverpool went as bees so we had yellow polo shirts with liverpool avs swarm and a bee in a small logo on the front and then on the back it there was a massive bee and liverpool avs-100% refined and for the girls "come polinate my flower" and guys "wanna taste my honey".
Nottingham were dalmations and had t shirts saying doing it doggie style since 2006, glasgow were disco people so had something about disco balls. edinburgh were mario so had something about pressing buttons. bristols t shirts wernt that great but they were noddys. rvc were jocks and cheerleeders and i forget what there t shirts were like. cant be bothered to list the rest.
its such a good weekend! highly recomended. even though bristol couldnt handle the mass of vets and everyone was chucked outa the sports grounds...and later the union. oopppsss....
