Redbrick are hosting their annual Christmas party in the Slipper this
Thursday and guess what? We didn't humiliate ourselves too much last year
so got invited again! Join us Redbrick, and many other societies in the
Slipper (Matt Weldons) on Ballymun Road from 8pm. Think Freshers Ball but
cheesy Christmas cheer and Jolly old Santa with a sack full of fantastic*
pressies! Drink deals, pizza and lots of friendly faces!
