WELCOME!


Welcome to Cripps Hall Karnival! We are part of the largest student-run charity in the UK and we aim to make your fresher year an enjoyable (if not slightly blurry) experience. This is your chance to have a great day out in other cities, make new friends and be an active part of the best hall on campus!

Before we start, I'd just like to say I know this web page is a disgusting red colour, but its Karni tradition!

Rag Raids 

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Rag Raiding, it involves going to a different city each weekend and raising lots of money for the designated charity. This is usually done in some kind of funky fancy dress, e.g. fantasy characters (see starwars picture above) or festive, (see picture christmas picture below). On the way back, to reward you for all your hard work, we play lots of drnking games with our own Karni Cocktail!

Karni Events

The Slave Auction: Buy a slave to clean your room now that your mum's not around, or auction yourself off. Come along to see leg-waxing, naked flesh and general comedy antics. Anything can be yours.... just name the price!

Booze Krooze: Unlimited booze on a boat. Need we say more?

Mr and Miss Cripps: A must for all you exhibitionists out there! Winner competes for Mr and Miss Nottingham at a local nightclub. Expect to compete in silly events ranging from a scavenger hunt to pie eating, whilst wearing a horse thong (just ask Karni Mike!)

Seven Legged Pub Crawl: 6 people tied together, seven pubs, seven drinks...but wait until someone needs the toilet! Free nightclub tickets also included.

You also have the chance to get involved with a sky dive and bungee jump. This year there will be loads more events to get involved with! 

All this is topped off with the (in)famous Snowflake Ball. It's here that you get not only the best food you'll eat all year, but also the total money raised. Last year Karni raised over £525,000, and we're looking to better that this year.

What Does Karnival Do?

Karnival is an organisation run by students of Nottingham University and other universties around the UK, with support from Millennium Volunteers. The main aim of Karnival is to raise as much money as possible for a huge range of Charities.

These range from international organisations through to big national appeals such as Comic Relief and Children In Need, right down to local Nottingham-based charities. The latter are served in part by Kontact - another student run body.

To maximise the amount of money raised, each hall in the University, (and organised groups, e.g. 'medics' and 'off campus'), compete against each other. Last year (2003), Cripps Hall increased their total from £10,000 (previous year) to £28,000!!! This year we are aiming for at least £35,000, but to do this we need your help.



 

Top Ten Reasons To Get Involved!

(10) The feeling of pride at the Snowflake Ball when the results are read out and your hall is in the top 5 out of the whole university.

(9) Knowing that you've made a difference to the lives of people less fortunate than yourselves

(8) Get to know the people in your hall better and meet other people from different halls. The best friends I have, I met on rag raids! 

(7) Visit a new city every weekend for free!

(6) As a reward for raising lots of dosh for charity, unlimited alcohol and drinking games on the bos ride back! 

(5) Being able to watch TV without having to switch over due to guilt when the Oxfam adverts come on, because you know you've done your bit for charity.

(4) It looks fantastic on a CV - employers look for volunteer work and a altristic characteristics. 

(3) Excellent social events, such as coctail parties, formal balls, Booze Kruize, Seven Legged pub crawls, 5-Go-Dating, Mr/Miss Cripps & Mr/Miss Notts, Pop Idol, fashion shows, rag raids, giant alcoholic twister competitions, theme nights at The Works and loads more! Watch our calender for details.

(2) The fancy dress!!! See photo page - need I say more?!

(1) And most importantly, to beat Rutland. Why? Because they take it up the arse!
