Fireworks at the opening ceremony greeted the 1500
BUSCateers at the British Universities Championships
in Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
With
racing due to start today, there has already been
plenty of action in the first 24 hours of the student
occupation of the resort. Hinterglemm really
seems a perfect destination for this type of event.
The Tourist Office are very relaxed and seem to understand
that a few dramas are bound to occur with so many
people drinking so much.
Unfortunately,
one such drama involved a room in one of the hotels
going up in flames. An investigation is still
going on, but it appears taht the fire started due
a hob left on. The six girls from Aberdeen University
who were staying in the room escaped without injury,
although on e of the party is receiving treatment
for smoke inhalation.
The
'Party Ohne Ende' continues, but slightly more soberly
(if such a thing is possible).
