Pub Night

Our monthly pub night is on the last Tuesday of the month from 6pm at the Oxley pub in Yorkville. The next meet up is on Tuesday 25th of October. Come and enjoy the relaxed pub atmosphere and catch up with friends.

It was great to see a number of new faces at last month’s pub night and we hope to see even more this month. We always have alumni from a variety of backgrounds, ages, interests and experiences at these events and we hope that will continue.
