A Manly Festivity

Monday, January 25th, 2010

One celebration of manhood is hardly enough for an entire year and so a necessary sequel set up by RA group two and ten occurred on the evening of January 8 and continued until four o’clock the next morning. Blaring music filled the rec centre shaking its jittery foundations and the stacks of pizzas that were delivered to accompany the many bottles of pop consumed. In the TV room, two massive televisions were set up facing opposite directions so that eight-player teamed Halo was possible.  The bottom floor was set up for an intense game of mini-sticks and the top floor was reserved for a three on three soccer matches.

After game upon game was battled out, “The Unit” and “Embetterment “ emerged the undeniable victors in soccer and floor hockey, respectively.  Each team received a very creative, ornamental trophy to signify their dominance.

People left the building feeling tired but satisfied.  New friendships were formed, strong community developed, and our manliness affirmed. It was an exciting night that brought out many of the male Redeemer population from all years and hopefully the evening will continue to develop into an annual event.
