The Parade Bar has agreed to extend its Friday opening hours to 10 pm out of term time, meaning that PGRs (and other students still on campus) can continue after-work drinks during vacation time.
The decision followed discussions between the Parade Bar and Adam Kearns, the Students' Union Postgraduate Officer.
The popoular PGR Friday post-work drinks, which began as a Doctoral Induction Team event, will now continue as a PGR event throughout the year.
The Parade Bar will also be including a range of Friday drinks promotions out of term time.
Improving provision out of term-time (including campus shops, bars, and cafes) is a Top Ten issue that the Students' Union is committed to, with this representing a significants 'win' towards it.
