Mr. Britannia contest # 1

Okay, so the activities committee decided that they would have a male pageant of sorts. I and some other people were honestly signed up without our consent, but in thinking about it we decided that we'd participate to support Steph Ollerton in her calling (that sounds so sanctimonious, but that is the truth!)

Thus the Mr. Britannia contest was born. There were ads all over the chapel with a picture of Bishop Stokes wearing a crown and saying we could become like him. The contest would consist in several 'feats' that we would have to complete in order not to be kicked out. I wasn't sure what to do so one night I decided that I was going to be Adam Sandler in 'The Wedding Singer'. I went to Camden Town and found a blue, frilly shirt, complete with blue jacket. I practiced and practiced what I was going to do and then the night arrived.

The photo you see here is of one of the 'feats of strength' - we had to eat Weetabix (super dry cereal) without any liquids.
