You don't do pubcrawls? I can think of several at my uni that do:
- the Engineering society
- the Maths society
- the Ski society
- the Stein Club
- the Medicine students society
Oh yeah, most of the big clubs do. Just not that particular club.
Well, I think. In this case, the university cracked down several years ago on "alcohol-related" events. Something like, you can have alcohol at an event, but you can't advertise an event as being about alcohol. I seem to recall on at least one occasion hearing a public announcement by a club along the lines of "Sorry everyone, the pub crawl's been cancelled. In case anyone's wondering where I'll be this afternoon, I'm going for a walk around the neighbourhood, starting at pub X in 30 minutes."
Pity there isn't a Wikien-l-OT list to carry on this sort of fun conversation :)
