We have a lot of amazing events that you won’t want to miss, including quiz nights, pub crawls and information sessions! We hope to see you there! Any more questions? Why not DM us on Instagram – @uoylingsoc

We usually meet every Tuesday in term time from 7pm-9pm in SLB/002 (Spring Lane) but this is dependent on the type of event so remember to keep an eye on our Instagram for more information!
