WELCOME TO THE ALTERNATIVE SOCIETY!

Kick off the new academic year with us at our Welcome Games Night! Whether you’re a returning member or joining us for the very first time, come along for a relaxed evening of games, food and meeting fellow alternative people.

We’ll be starting the evening with a fun Kahoot quiz, followed by a chaotic round of musical chairs! After that, settle in and choose from a selection of board games and card games to play with friends or make some new ones along the way.

And of course, there will be FREE PIZZA for everyone to enjoy! 🍕✨

Come along and say hi, get involved, have a laugh and start the academic year with us. Whether you’re knowledgable on alternative culture or not, everyone is welcome!

We can’t wait to see you there!💖
