National Party

The_Icps_Song.jpg The day was filled with lectures till 18:30, after which it was just dinner and preparing for the national Party at 21:00.

The first stage in the preparations was organizing the national stage act. Here the UK participants have gathered in one of the dormitary corridoors, being rehearsed by Adrian for a song that he had prepared.

Next it was time to prepare the food - for which it had been organized for us to have access to the industrial kitchen facilities in the canteen, with some British contributions being prepared in the forground here. Cooks_At_Work_For_British_Dishes.jpg

At 00:45, a little earlier than expected, it was the UKs turn, and one of the braver acts (which I hasten to add did not include me) was a group that decided to reenact a scene from The Full Monty. This shot had to be carefully framed to spare their blushes..
