'For the MCR the term got off to a good start with our traditional Burns Night dinner at the end of 1st week. It was a lovely evening, filled with socialising and merriment, but what struck me was the strong sense of community it inspired. Organised by our wonderful social secretaries, whiskey selected by one of our connoisseur bar managers, an enthusiastic address to the haggis by our living-out officer, and three heartfelt speeches by MCR members: every element was touched by some part of our community. After dinner we returned to the Manor for a ceilidh, and from speaking to others afterwards, a wonderful night was had by all.' Thomas Hancock (2016, DPhil Particle Physics), MCR President
