Thats a shame choco bean, thats the opinion lots of people have of network. But although ours does involve some drinking we do loads of more exciting things - see video!
I started my own Network at Uni with my best friend. We went round campus recruiting and now decide what we want to do - in the last 10 weeks we did rifle shooting, iceskating, sugar cube towers, cinema, quiz, pool and darts eve, performed in the 02 arena, and threw a 3 hr christmas party/games eve! Dont think we have been to the pub once yet!
Stick with explorers for a bit, then try and get a group of u together to make a network - you get to decide what you want to do!
If you do join Network get them to go to all the camps - loads of Bockers at those (us!) including the face of network!
