7.30pm

We close officially, and the bar goes back to a cash bar, you're welcome to stay, most do for a few more hours

Rules:

1. "No Selling" (You can talk concepts, but not pricing and product names)

2. "No giving your card out" (You can be asked after a yarn)

3. "You can't ask what someone does til the 3rd question" (Find out about the person first)

We employ the principles of gamification - break the rule, earn the consequence of being walked out with a "Red card" which incurs a 3 event ban.
