*Update RE getting multiple tickets*
If you're gettings tickets for your team/a few people and don't yet know who's definitely coming, just put your own name in multiple times. That'll be perfectly fine at the door.

We can all agree this has been rubbish, yes?
WELL. PR Land, have we* got a free bar summer treat for you!
Who's up for an agenda-less reason to get together and do... whatever it was we did in bars before all of this happened?
We have this event in London - rearranged from the 1st of July.
We had a similar and brilliantly attended party in Manchester on Thursday 22nd July. If that was anything to go by, this London one will be amazing!
Whether you work in agency, in-house or freelance, you are welcome! You'll probably want to work in PR and/or media/marketing/adjacent fields (social media, digital etc), but if you don't have a team to come with or are worried you won't know anybody, feel free to invite a friend.
On the night
There'll be a free bar (within reason, you animals - magnums of champagne are off the menu, SORRY), music, and a cash prize or two to be won for... something daft we'll think up before then.
In short, come along, have a laugh - and see if you remember how to socialise!
The venue
SAMA Bankside is a great late night bar that's previously been voted the 'best all round venue' by Design My Night.
With a capacity that'll comfortably fit 250 or so of us, it's split across two floors, and a stone's throw from the OXO Tower.
In fact, if you'd like a virtual wander through it, here's a swanky 3D walkthrough.
Sponsors
We've had some amazing sponsors step up to put some cash behind the bar and into a prize fund each night with us.
Our main sponsor is strategic insight agency Opinium. Huge thanks to them, especially my friend Josh and head honcho James.
Our other lovely sponsors are:
--- PR reporting tool Coverage Book. Muchas gracias to Gary, Stella and the team - both for this and all they do for the industry.
--- Freelance PR matchmakers The PR Cavalry. Nigel is the man with a freelance PR network plan.
We'll be tagging them in our social posts - show them some love for keeping us all in drinks by saying hi and following.
Charity tickets:
Nobody likes a party where nobody shows up - especially when numbers are limited. Therefore, buying tickets is a must. However, 100% of whatever you pay will go towards the amazing Arts Emergency (after ticketing platform fees - in short, we're not making a penny from this).
Arts Emergency helps young people from underrepresented backgrounds break into creative, art and humanity industries. They support young people in London, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, making them a great charity to support for these parties.
Finally - tickets to these have gone very quickly in the past once live, so if you don't want to miss out, get booking!
*Who is 'we'?
We means Radioactive PR. That's about as promotional as I'll be about us - I've done a few of these in the past when I ran PRexamples.com (now Famous Campaigns), and they were always great nights filled with drinks, gossip and something amounting to, but definitely cooler than, networking.
Say hi to us on Twitter @Radioactive_PR, and me @RichLeighPR
