2006 - The Student Gumball Rally
This was our first event. No one really knew what to expect, but no one cared either. 150 teams from vastly disparate backgrounds united by one common theme - they were all completely berserk. It nearly killed us, but once it was over all we could do was start planning the next one...

2007- The Student Brake Away
New name, same great party. Spain was meant to be a simple, light-hearted jaunt through the countryside but instead seemed to suggest that civilisation may have left that part of Europe with the Moors. Dirty, hot, cheating and crime-ridden - we loved every second of it!
