We shall be playing some Pub Golf, starting off in Cargo and going through an expertly laid out route of 8 other pubs, followed by some clubbing.

For those of you who haven't played before, please note that this is not technically a game of golf, so please don't bring your clubs.

However, part of the fun of the game is to dress up as if you really were playing, so feel free to go abit crazy with plus fours and whatever. Also try and bring a scarf, it's awful cold outside these days.

Pub Golf is an excellent way to meet and socialise with people in the Society, not only that but it's alot of fun too! So I do hope you come.
