The Tab goes out with… Boxing
The Tab’s quest to find the best sport’s social continues.
Our mission to go out with as many sport societies as possible took The Tab to Boxing’s AU night.
I arrived feeling somewhat under-dressed. The super heroes theme saw some people go all out – the president had died his hair blonde to go as Flash Gordon while I’d gone as Clarke Kent (total cost: £2, get in). On the other hand some guys were in togas which was somewhat puzzling.
We were greeted by the club president shouting ‘Who are these wankers’ but after explaining I was from The Tab (I’m kind of a big deal) we played a game of ‘Naked or Drink’ and everyone was friends again. ‘Naked or Drink’ is pretty self-explanatory and resulted in The Tab baring all in a room full of strangers.
Although the boxers were very friendly (after they realised how important I was), at AURA there was some costume friction with shirts being ripped off to match the Rugby #LADS half-naked fancy dress.
It’s fair to say the Boxing social more or less destroyed me. My memories of the night are a hazy mess of downing drinks with the Hulk in Walkabout, finding another guy dressed as Clarke Kent and obviously pulling my pants down at pre drinks. The Boxing society got me so drunk I couldn’t even text their social secretary in understandable English.
Overall I was well impressed with Boxing’s social. Everyone was welcoming, pre drinks was hilarious, and they took me to my first ever AU – which was mental by the way. Their Social Secretary told me every social goes like that – which is impressive but I don’t think I could cope.
