Saturday night we had the annual pub crawl. There were 5 pubs in total put together by base members. Seeing as I was on cook Matt Boat did a grand job setting up our marine team one by himself. Our bar was first a cruise ship theme- on the jet boat serving champagne with Chopen playing on VHF channel 15 from the boatshed!

Next stop was the Irish Bar at Discovery House put together by Maureen and Robert. Complete with questions pulled out of a hat about all things scottish or irish before you could receive a drink!

The beakers including Ramon (an observer from a toothfish boat) put together the most amazing ice bar. They had collected snow and put it in the freezer and then carved out ice sculptures with strobe lights inside. The glasses were also made from tap water frozen into glasses with homemade rasberry vodka. A lot of effort that was well worth it!

Rob’s bar was in the Sauna where he served white russians as the theme was Georgia (as in the Russian state). Ali decided to take his carved penguin with him where the poor thing obviously started sweating quite a bit!

Last but not least was the basement (sewage plant room!) nightclub complete with handstamps to get in low ceilings, loud dance music, vodka jelly and pills (skittles) to pop. Well done Tommy and Matt.

As the sky was so clear we did our midwinter photo Sam and Ali did a great job with the star trails and merging everything together so we didn’t have to stand in the minus temperatures for 2 hours!
