Congress, Curious Cove

Congress, Curious Cove

Congress 1954 will be held at Curious Cove in the last week of January. To those who have been before all that I need say is make sure you have your application in on time as, again, numbers will be limited. To those who have never been and for whom "Congress" conjures up visions of a mob of reds running riot, or a gathering of fearfully intellectual culture vultures, or even a nine-day non-stop bash from which no girl can emerge quite as she entered, here is your chance to find out what it is really like.

Congress is this year being organised by A.U.C. and will pretty will conform with the pattern established over the past few years. A. R. D. Fairburn has consented to act as chairman and the provisional list of speakers promises stimulation for all as well as opportunities for seasonal campaigners to wheel out their old hobby horses. There will be lectures and discussions in the mornings and evenings and the afternoons will again be quite free for fishing, swimming, volley ball, getting lost in the hills, or any of the other activities which seem to be an integral part of Congress.

Sportsmen, remember that V.U.C. after its triumphs in Congress Olympics last year has a record to uphold, so make an effort to get there.

If any one is dithering go straight to an old Congress hand and they will make your mind up for you. And then, unless you want to be disappointed—get in early at the Exec, room. All in an application and pay your deposit.
