GUPA at the 2010 Irish Student caving Forum

Cory, Poll na gColm of the BoatsThe Lovely Girl Contest

Monday 8 April 2010: just back from Ireland where five Guppies attended the caving event of the year – the Irish Student Forum.

There was caving, drinking, banter, drinking…                                 and a Lovely Girl Contest!

But we were robbed -robbed! – of the Lovely Girl title – clearly someone, who’d probably been bribed, wasn’t as impressed by her ‘getting out of a car elegantly’ skill as we were…

However, to make up for it we made off with the Golden               Helmet! (for photos taken during the weekend, the organisers not having any other prize available)

  1. I’ll never look at my dress (or Nick) the same way again. In the process of tracking down a video of his lovely lady entry!

    Photos and videos of Nick dressed as a lovely girl are available for a fee. Or ask him to demonstrate how lovely girls get out of cars… smooth, turn, knees together… and glide….
