Entz

MERTON ENTZ

Entz in Oxford stands for entertainment and we’re here to make your year as fun as possible. Merton Entz is all about having something for everyone so that everyone in college despite subject or year group has a chance to meet and get to know everyone else. Whether you consume alcohol like there is no tomorrow or are more modest in your drinking habits, love going out and dancing like an epileptic sheep or prefer a quiet night in with a few mates, we’ll have something to suit you. Further information nearer the time of each event will be available on here and the Merton Entz facebook group where you will be able to access the term card that we have prepared telling you everything you need to know about the fun and games we have organised for you in Michaelmas term. 
Your entz reps this year are Rosie and Gabby, 'wonderous goddesses of entz'. If you have any ideas for events we could put on, or any feedback from events we've already put on, then please let us know, either by email or facebook, or just catch us around college. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
If you want to know more about what’s on offer in Oxford our specific entz guide will tell you more about the clubs, pubs, restaurants and all the other activities that you could possibly want to do in Oxford.

DETAILS
MONDAY
7.00 – 7.30
ALTERNATIVE BAR QUIZ
IN THE BAR
Join the entz team in the bar for the fabulous alternative bar quiz. Possibly a little less intellectually challenging than Bill’s fortnightly quiz, but still a lot of fun and with bar tokens up for grabs.
8.30
G&D’S
IN THE BAR
After the rigours of our quiz we’ll take you to cool down at everyone’s favourite ice cream parlour with Oxford’s most delicious ice creams and sorbets. YUM!
8.30
THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE
IN THE BAR
If you feel like something a little stronger, we’ll also be going to the Duke’s to enjoy an all night happy hour with half-price cocktails!
TUESDAY

ICE SKATING

Just a few hours fun on the ice. Hopefully you’ll be better than us.

BACK 2 SCHOOL PARTY <at> BAR RISA
IN THE BAR
For our first club night we’re off to Bar Risa for a good old fashioned school disco (apparently there’s even going to be popcorn!). The entz team will, of course, be dressing accordingly in school uniform but it isn’t essential. Whether you decide to dress up or not, this is a guaranteed great night out for those who love to party.
WEDNESDAY
8.00
PUB CRAWL
IN THE BAR
An essential tour of our favourite watering holes. Even if you’re not a big drinker it’s still worth coming along to get to know everyone and begin to find your way around Oxford.
8.00
ART SOC. EVENT: ARABIAN NIGHTS
JCR
For the first Art Soc. evening of term the lovely Hafsa and her arty team will be getting creative with the theme of Arabian Nights i.e. music, henna, mint tea and baklava (and maybe some art?).
10.30
UV BUBBLE PARTY <at> COVEN II
IN THE BAR
We can’t wait for this sell out event at Oxford’s ‘most atmospheric’ venue. With UV bubble machines the more you dance the more colourful you get and the organisers have also promised us white t-shirts plus they’ll be handing out LOADS of free glowing goodies including bracelets, bands, tubes, necklaces, glasses, paints, hairspray and tattoos.
THURSDAY
8.30
PARENTING DRINKS
JCR, BAR, GAMES ROOM
Basically meet your college parents..with drinks..in the JCR, bar and games room. A good chance to meet lots of Mertonians, not just freshers, and maybe beat them at pool, table tennis or even SuperMario.
FRIDAY
12.30
MERTON FRESHERS’ FAIR
SPORTS PAVILION
Your chance to check out all the music, sport and art societies that Merton has to offer. We’ll also be inviting some of that raucous lot from Mansfield college over to share in our free drinks, barbeque and inflatable fun (oo-er). Let’s just hope it’s as sunny as it was last year.
8.00
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
JCR
Merton will (hopefully) be hosting one of the world’s best A Cappella groups, The Oxford Gargoyles, performing a short set for your enjoyment (and also in the hope that you will audition for them over the weekend).
9.00
FRESHERS’ BALL
IN BAR
A classier, more relaxed evening where you can mix and mingle or dance to top DJs with all the other Oxford freshers. There will be free cocktails all night and then free entry into one of the after parties.
SATURDAY
8.30
PRE-BOP PARTY
JCR
Drinks in the JCR to begin your first ever Merton BOP experience (and laugh at everyone’s costumes whilst they’re still intact).
10.00 – 2.00
BOP
SPORTS PAVILION
When you’ve had enough pre-BOP mingling and drinks, head off up to the Pav to finish your freshers week in style with a night of drinking, dancing and debauchery. Then read about it on Monday in the Merton News.

 **Freshers week is obviously a great time to meet all the other freshers and we've organised your week so you have as many opportunities as possible to meet and get to know everyone else whilst having an absolutely awesome time. However, the welfare reps, Henry and Sarah, have asked me to to let you know that if you are feeling all mingled-out and need a break then they'll be putting on an evening film tuesday-friday, and every night the JCR will be open, so please feel free to make the most of the games etc. provided or just chill out in there**
