Drunk Vanbrugh footballers have been sentenced to community service, Vision can reveal.
Vanbrugh Principal, Barry Thomas, put the sports group on probation following drunken antics during a punch party, which involved an argument with locals over noise level.
The social took place in first year accommodation Fairfax House, despite not having permission to do so.
Georgina Heath, College Officer, told Vision: “At no time is it permissible for non-residents or societies to hold events in student residence blocks and, had permission been sought, it would have been refused.
“Their unauthorised social caused a great deal of upset to the local residents.
“Barry Thomas, Vanbrugh Principal, proposed to the football captains that the teams might perhaps provide some community service on campus in lieu of a fine. ”
Max Brewer, who holds the position of the team’s Captain, acknowledged the “dispute” and told Vision: “There is no development on any punitive measures being taken against the club as a result of a dispute which arose between a club member and a member of the public. This dispute was surrounding the amount of noise being made on a social.
“I apologise for the disruption we caused, but the issue has now been put to bed”
Vanbrugh Chair Michael Duncan told Vision: “Clearly, this unfortunate situation resulted from a misunderstanding rather than any malicious intent.
“I am pleased that now the matter is resolved, the football team can return their focus to representing Vanbrugh, particularly in the playoffs, to compete in College Varsity later this term.”
All future socials for the football club will be held in supervised spaces in Vanbrugh Nucleus.
