Torpids 2018

 This year's Torpids will be remembered for its snowy aesthetic, freezing temperatures and hot chocolate with bailey's instead of buck's fizz. Sadly Thursday and Friday were cancelled due to poor conditions and only W1 and M1 could row on Saturday, but this didn't stop us from having a lot of fun and a brilliant Torpids Roast. Highlights include W1's amazing blue and yellow socks and headbands, W2's catchphrase which cannot be repeated here, and M1's unisuit snowball fight outside the boathouse!
