Newspaper of the students of the University of Surrey Issue 36 – Tuesday 25th October 2011 A pproximately 60 people had turned up for the Literature Society bar crawl that night, which started in Weatherspoons, followed by Bar Med, where all students had been allowed to enter. Although they were not the only group of students out on a bar crawl that night, it came as shock when multiple students, who had a Jersey ID were refused entry into Flares. One student, who asked not be named said: “They basically said, ‘if you’ve not got an English ID you’re not allowed in’, even though Jersey is part of Great Britain.” It is believed by many students who were out Wednesday night, that the Flares bouncers were unsure as to whether the IDs were real. What is more is that the same thing happened to a student with a Gibraltarian ID, despite the fact that they had been let into Flares many times before.
