💛1 point of information = 1 shot💛

We are happy to announce that our first event of this year will be taking place this Saturday 10th October, 6pm at Soundproof.

We have confirmed 8 of the greatest intellectuals on campus as speakers in this show debate on the motion:
This House would ban sexual and romantic relations between 1A and 2A students.

The debate will take the format of British Parliamentary but with a twist, every time a point of information is given, everyone in the room must take a shot.
Therefore to come and watch make sure to:
1) Bring your own bottle of alcohol (preferably spirits such as gin or vodka).
2) Sign up here before 6pm on Friday 9th October (as there is a limit to the number of people we can fit in the main room of Soundproof): https://forms.gle/hpJaxgBSDLUMDM7N9
3) Spiritually prepare to watch the littest debate of your life.

See you all there!
