    as long as you have cheap drinks and decent music im sure the students will come, as long as isnt populated by townies. that was always my rule of thumb many moons ago.

    that and i have a secret gimmick on my side, which i think is so crazy and derranged it might actually work

    free ice cream if you print a flyer off the web and hand it in at the bar

    not a bad idea.

    but i think you might end up with more piles of sick than normal. ice cream and alcohol dont usually mix, unless its some nice frozen cocktail

    haha yeah but you dont want people throwing up all over the place, would surely make me want to leave.

    maybe give something else instead of ice cream? sweets?

    if people throw up, then they are likely to want to leave

    but the name of the night has now been fandangled to "ice cream sunday"

    Not bad huni -
    Be worried about the ice-cream.
    On Halloween, we were giving out loads of haribo sweets and lollies and aw man, did the floor staff crack up with students being sick already as early as 10pm. hehe

    you could 'run out' of ice cream early on and give out something less vomiticious... it does say while stocks last so you can just not get much stock ;)

    I want to come now you've told me online how much Ben & Jerries cookie dough you have in stock. Yes I do. Those students are lucky to be treated to such expensive ice cream!

    I wouldn't do it as students only just maybe call it student night. I live in a uni town but I know something that was ONLY for students would stop a lot of people going. Not because they don't like students or anything just that my student mates wouldnt go to something f I couldnt go aswell. Just a thought.

    Good luck tho :D

    students in durham wouldnt go en masse if there was locals in, while a lot of them get on with locals, durham students are generally quite hated, and durham drinking locals are quite drunk and nasty
