Wicked Work Shouts!

The last event of the year, Work Shouts, went down an absolute treat. The 4th years organised a substantial amount of beer and food, and the weather was a treat! Good luck to all the 4th years going into the workforce next year, and to the new OUSSA President and Treasurer Brayden Foote and Claire Snelling! Do us proud!

However, there could only be one winner at the end. Congratulations to Full Kit Wankers for taking out top spot!
