Curry Cook Off

Last week, our Thursday community night event was a Curry Cook Off. Canvas hosted a few curry cook offs a few years ago and we wanted to bring it back. Birmingham is well known for curry restaurants and many students will go out for a curry with friends for special occasions. We have eaten countless curries while living in Birmingham and really love it!

Our Canvas Curry Cook Off had three categories: 1) Most Creative 2) Spiciest and 3) Best Overall. Students, staff, and exchange students formed teams and each made a different curry to bring to Canvas. I think we had about 9 or 10 entries and they were all quite good. Here are a few photos of the night:

Lots of entries, ready to eat!

Quiz Night

Thursday nights at Canvas are community nights. We do different events each Thursday to build community amongst our students. Last Thursday we had a Quiz Night. We had quite a few quiz nights last term and they are quite popular. Pubs in the area offer Quiz nights on Mondays, and so we like to offer the Canvas quiz alternative. Our quiz nights always include silly games and the winning team usually gets some type of baked goods. Here a few photos from last week's quiz night!
