Every Tuesday we meet at the Library pub for a relaxed catch-up - everyone is welcome! Come to meet new people and feel free to ask us any questions about academic or university life. The pub has great deals on food and drinks so it's budget-friendly.
Où Est Le Poulet
The Hedley Verity - Disco Spoons, LS1 3HQ
6 December 2025 at 18:00
Team up (4-6 people) and hunt down two of our committee members, disguised as chickens, hiding in a pub somewhere in Leeds! In true CompSoc fashion, our crack engineering team has vibe-coded the ultimate experience, complete with a live leaderboard and a battle royale-style shrinking map.
Finding the chickens isn't the only way to win. Complete missions along the way to claw back points and fight for the top spot. One rule: every pub you enter, every teammate drinks. Coming solo or in a small group? No worries, we'll sort everyone into teams at the start.
On the 2nd Friday of every month we host a free inclusive gaming social in Crossroads in LUU. Come along to socialise and play your favourite games, or maybe some new ones! Keep an eye on the Discord for more information.
