Just several days ago BEAST took advantage of the cold weather and organised an ice-skating race on the frozen pond at Zernike. The below zero temperature couldn’t kill the adventurous spirit of the contestants and five brave teams of four people each were competing for the honor of being the fastest on the ice.

The arctic weather didn’t stop the audience of coming to cheer on their favourite team and give their best to back them. Although the strength of their support cannot be doubt, the power of the hot soup, refreshments and cheerful music prepared from BEAST should not be underestimated in the fight against the cold. At the end, everybody managed to create warm memories of one exciting contest.

No doubt, the most lucky ones were the children, who took their ice skates and head towards the frozen lakes, made snowmen or were a brave warriors in a snowfight. Looking at them you could not help thinking that the weather was trying to compensate for the warm Christmas, giving its best to paint everything in white.

Some students (especially international students) who haven’t seen snow in their life were really excited and you could see happy faces all over the place.
