Social Events
Halifax College is a busy college for social events. Whether it’s barcrawls through town, quizzes in JJ’s, court BBQs, trips to various cities or even the beach (“Fax off to Scarborough”, anyone?) there’s something organised by the HCSA every week.
In early 2012 the HCSA led by George Offer re-launched the successful and highly popular 'XTRA' branded events, presenting the college's famous bar crawls and themed club nights in college.
The big events of the year are the Halifax Summer Ball, which in the academic year 2010-2011 was held on a boat, Snow Ball, Faxival, Halifax Has Got Talent, and of course Freshers Week which changes in content and length from year to year.
Faxival, the brainchild of Andrew Wallace and Davedass Mootanah, is a festival/carnival held throughout the college. Including live music, BBQs, hog roast, a bar, various inflatables, and of course sumo suits, it was started in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or events:
“Women have a hard time of it in this world. They are oppressed by man-made laws, man-made social customs, masculine egoism, the delusion of masculine superiority. Their one comfort is the assurance that, even though it may be impossible to prevail against man, it is always possible to enslave and torture a man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
