On the morning of the 2nd of November, Brusheff has held their 2nd Amazing Race as part of their freshers event. The event started from Weston Park and checkpoints were spread out throughout the Sheffield University campus and city centre. The checkpoints include the students union, peace gardens, Sheffield Hallam University and the train station. Teams were mixed up so that people from different years and disciplines were able to get to know each other throughout the race. The race ended at Weston Park as the final destination and the award ceremony was held there too. Hopefully this event would develop closer bonds to the Bruneians living in Sheffield whether they were participants or volunteers.
