As you’ve probably heard, the legendary Redfearn bar, situated within the Percy Gee building, is to call last orders for the very last time. In the wake of new developments set to revitalize the current student union building, Homecoming will mark the very last chance for you to drink and socialise with your old university friends within in the Redfearn.
The alumni team (with the help of the Percy Gee people!) have been working hard to make sure this night goes off with a bang. The auction lots have now been finalised, as we’ve been chipping at the walls and raiding the cellars to find some right good treats from times gone by. We’ve also arranged some fantastic experiences that you can bid for – such as the last order’s bell, the redfearn sign and offering the opportunity to bid for the chance to be the first person to pull a pint at the new venue in 2010.
The night doesn’t end with the auction, it is just the beginning- the SU chaps have planned all sorts of student activity to bring you back to your university days – The Thursday night Shampoo DJ will be there to provide the entertainment and we’re hoping we’ll all be in lively spirits to help raise money for the Percy Gee appeal. The rules are that “everything must go”, so if you see something you fancy, let the bar staff know and we’ll help make that piece of the Redfearn yours!
The evening, like the daytime activities are all FREE – but we need you to register so that we can make sure we’ve got enough room to cater for the mass of alumni that will be descending upon Leicester on the 27th. We’ve made it even easier to register this year – visit http://percygee.org/homecoming and follow the instructions from there!
