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:
“Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
