GKT Final Year News 2020-21

We are really sorry but given the recent change to Government unlocking we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Graduation Party. This is in consultation with the venue, who unfortunately were unable to offer us any alternative options.

The FYC will arrange refunds of ticket sales as soon as possible via KCLSU. This may take a few weeks as we wait for the venue to refund us. If you have any questions about refunds, please email us at [email protected]
