Join the London chapter on Monday 12th for a night of KFC and Karaoke! We'll be meeting at the Lavender Hill KFC at 18:30, which is a short walk from Clapham Junction station.and after feasting on fried chicken in that time-honoured Japanese tradition, we'll be making our way to the Four Thieves pub for christmas Karaoke (it's encouraged, but not mandatory to sing 'All I want for Christmas' at least once). For non-meat eaters/fans of fried chicken, you can skip the meal part and meet us at the pub. The cost is £5 for karaoke for 2 hours (a christmas miracle!), with all food and drink being at your own expense. Please sign up with the eventbrite below, as spaces will be limited!
