They can't believe it's not gutter

They can't believe it's not gutter

On Tuesday 21 June, teams of actuaries gathered at the Elephant and Castle Superbowl to compete for the title of 'SIAS Bowling Champions of 2016' (and to have a bit of fun too).

The night was complemented by some sharing platters and a happy hour to help get rid of any last-minute nerves.

Fit Bowl (Kamal Lakhani, Ben Woodhouse and Jason Cross)
were crowned the winners with the total of 705 points for two games. The first prize consisted of Amazon vouchers, sweets and chocolates.

The end of the evening saw the best team name prize being hotly contested, with a few last-minute entries, including the judge's chosen favourite - 'I can't believe it's not gutter'.

Thank you to everyone for attending and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
