Welcome back to Oxford for the final term of the academic year. Trinity term is always a busy one, and we wish you all the best for what lies ahead. 

In the social media caption to the Short Stories 2 film above, we joked about never playing games with mathematicians, especially Foosball, as a result of which Trinity College Cambridge Foosball Society have asked for a 'Varsity' game. If anyone is interested get in touch with them (and let Dyrol know). Presumably Trinity being Trinity, they are all mathematicians anyway.
