Hi all! We hope you're all getting prepared to battle for the glory of Sontar tonight!

We just wanted to give you all a little extra time to prepare for next week's social - costumes in the KPA! Come dressed as your favourite Doctor Who character if you want to! Of course, costumes are optional and it is just for a little bit of fun, so please don't feel like you have to go all out or spend tons of money on a new costume!

Committee members who are planning on wearing costumes are planning to use their own wardrobe to orchestrate their costumes.

We will be in the upstairs of the KPA from 6pm next Thursday (21st March) for a fun and relaxed evening of Who and (optional) costumes!

It's a super-fun night that has gone down well in the past so please do come along and bring your friends! Remember that if you bring your Keele Card with you as student ID there is a discount!

Hey all! We hope you enjoyed the quiz last week, we certainly had a lot of fun creating it.

This week's social is a games week with a twist! Every year, each society is required to hold an AGM - an annual general meeting - to update their members on what goes on behind the scenes and what's coming up. We've decided to combine this with a social full of boardgames and jackbox to make the whole experience more fun.

Please do come along to enjoy the games and have your say in our little society if you're free, it wouldn't be Who Soc without you!

10/02/2024

For more information on where exactly in town we will be going, look out for our email during the week!
