We are selling tickets every day this week between 12 and 2pm in the Old Bar (we are usually near the pool tables). So come and keep us company so we don't get lonely :'(

The Alt Ball

13/03/2010 - 23:55

As the older members of the society will be able to tell you there is a fabled night in the Rocksoc calender. A night where beards are tamed, faces are prettified and food and drink are consumed in large quantities whilst giving the visual impression of being at the very height of sophistication. This is of course the Alt Ball, a ball for those of us in society who like to dress up nice, but not compromise on our musical tastes.
