Archery seems to be synonymous with hip-flasks and post-practice visits to the nearest pub, making it the perfect sport for students!! |
This page focuses on the social side of the club and trys to give you some information about the crazed lunatics... err, that is, our members. |
The team at Cranford after the FITA 25 tournement having come 2nd in the recurve team competition. |
The team, plus hangers-on, at the BUSA indoors (Feburary 2001) in Newcastle having a VERY well deserved pint. From to top left to bottom right: Joe, Hamish, Leo, Ian, Veronica, Chris, Paul, Ji jia, Matt, Andy, Gav, Tim, Ben, Keith. |
As with most social circles, traditions have formed... And in the case of ULA it is Tequila which has gasped a firm hold of the hearts (and stomachs!) of many members. Although Tequila drinking is not a compulsory aspect of being a club member, it is widely accepted and readily encouraged. |
This is Gav, Captain of Imperial College 'Jedi' Archers and ULA's "Tequila Boy". This man drinks 'shots' of tequila from pint glasses without flinching, but his invincibility has been known to faulter when faced with a full English breakfast the next day. As the red-rimmed eyes will suggest, this photo was taken after one-too-many assults on the liver. But please note that he was NOT hung-over - the sun glasses are purley to dim the glare of the obviously bright room. |
Meet ULA's "Tequila Girl" - Veronica (foreground). Not only does shoot Tequila without flinching, she actuallyseems to enjoy doing it?!! This picture was taken on a UCL Circle-line pub crawl. |
Amazingly this didn't attract the barman's attention to our hidden prize... it was the table covered in salt and the pile of lemon rinds that did it! |
No-one, and I mean NO ONE does Tequilas as loudly as this man! Picture if you will, the team huddled in a corner of a pub, secretly drinking a bottle of tequila (generously supplied by Chris)... Ian, the club coach is given the honourary first drink, and nearly gives the game away with the spectacular display pictured below. |
As our beloved nearly-empty-anyway bottle is taken away, Keith makes the most of his last shot: |
