Bars

The Lindsay Bar is where its all at. It is situated under the JCR and has pool and table football. On the whole it's relaxed and unpretentious. They have a good range of beers and a guest ale every week. It was refurbished in Spring 2000 so its pretty swanky.

Major Functions

There are various events in the JCR Norway Room and in the bar. The facilities are run entirely by students so there are some strange nights. Cheese rules, as you might expect.

Social Events

There is a top notch summer event (not black tie) which is well organised and up to the standard of some university events.
