Sikh Soc events

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Hey all! After an amazing North Sikhi Week and a great turnout for football and badminton last week, its time for the penultimate event of the year.

As we take a lax approach to a fun-filled Christmas holiday, the Sikh Soc gives all of you intellectuals a chance to stimulate your brains with a Video debate.

What is a Video debate I hear all of you ask? We are giving you the chance to watch 3 short, interesting Sikhi related videos which will no doubt invigorate and raise some everyday issues faced by all of the members providing you with the ideal platform to enlighten and perhaps even challenge some of them. Now as well as SikhSoc being the most fun-filled, social societies the universities have to offer, we also like to live up to our reputation of being intellectually and spiritually grounded. So bring yourselves along to the table not forgetting your brains and chat, argue and debate about what really grinds your gears!!

Date: Tuesday 4th December
Where: TBC – another email is going to be sent out in the near future.
When: 6.30-8.30pm
Contact: 07930120580 (Daaneshwar)

Hoodies will also be available for purchase at the event!
So look out for another email very soon with the venue for the debate. It's gonna be big – so hope to see you ALL there!
