One little, two little, three little Santas

I was wondering when I would be able to post this, but our teacher didn't come for our 10-12pm tutorial today, so I have some time!

On Monday the TTIC¹ organised a competition open to all students. They organise about five or six such competitions throughout the year, and usually I don't bother posting about them unless if there is something exceptional to post about. Which happens to be the case this time ;) And what's more, I was lucky enough to have brought my camera, because Santa was there! And not one, but three! (unfortunately they didn't bring presents :P)

It seems that it was an SGM (another INSA department) thing...they had Santa costumes for the third years (I don't know the details though) So three of the players came dressed as Santa, and they even played while dressed as Santa (though some gave up and played in normal clothing in the end, I think the beard kinda got in the way!)

while warming up
Santa vs Santa, who will win? (I bet on Santa! lol)

This is Pierre, the third Santa, who didn't want me to take a photo of him :P

and one of the Santas from the first photo playing

I took the first photo with the camera set on automatic flash, and the others on night view. The lighting is better when it's taken with the night view setting, but unfortunately the flash goes off twice, so when they're playing the pictures are very blurred. I had taken a few other photos of Santa playing, but they're too blurred to be any good...too bad!

The next day, the AS² had a Christmas meal (repas de Noël) instead of the normal practice session. I brought my camera, and I passed it to the organisers (there were three of the AS members who were in charge) to take photos (I was busy eating ma :P) Then when they were serving dessert (they had ice-cream Yuletide logs - that's what bûches de Noël are called in English, right?) I took a few photos.

all busy eating :P

They had bought two logs with different flavours, and one of them was half-melted. So Thomas had a pretty hard time serving it! You can see that it isn't really in slices...

that's Patrice (our prof) giving the thumbs-up sign

the other log was better (as in not melted) so it was easier to cut and serve!
(we managed to have actual slices this time)

¹ TTIC: the INSA table-tennis club
² AS: the sports association; the members go to play in competitions on Thursday afternoons. This is the table-tennis one.
Of course, some people, like me, are in both the TTIC and the AS.
