Raze The Hammer And Sickle

Friday, 24th October, 7pm
Many years ago, SSEES had its own bar, aptly named "The Hammer and Sickle", where legend has it they served specialist vodkas and the mysterious "Vlad the Impaler" cocktail...
For one night only, the Masaryk Society are co-hosting with the SSEES Executive a night dedicated to this former cornerstone of SSEES student identity. With an appearance from SSEES' very own band, "The Church of Elvis" playing songs from the former jukebox, this night promises to be fantastic...so come along and find out why so many alumni are so sentimental about their times in the basement of 21 Russell Square...
Tickets will be available on the door!
