🎉 It's Pub Crawl Time! 🍺

This Saturday is our annual pub crawl tradition: Drinks to a Dan!

Our starting point will be Headingley Taps at 6pm. At each pub, we'll be grabbing a drink that represents a belt color - starting from white belt and making our way up to black belt, pub by pub, ending towards the city centre!

There's absolutely no pressure to drink, it's just a fun chance to relax, chat, and get to know everyone. We can't wait to see you all there!
