A good time was had by all - especially YSTV's token gay [[Rowan de Pomerai]] who came up with the name for the social. As a result the social started to happen regularly (the second and third visits were subtitled "The Re-Entry" and "The Threesome"). There were also spin-offs in the form of Little Gay Sunday and Big Gay Birthday. Most socials would begin in the Nag's Head next door, taking advantage of their triples-for-singles offer. | A good time was had by all - especially YSTV's token gay [[Rowan de Pomerai]] who came up with the name for the social.

A typical Toffs Sunday would be compered by a Lily Savage-esque MC, who made it onto the YSTV quotes board with "no I will not play the f***ing YMCA". The music was usually identical with each visit, featuring copious amounts of Hanson, Britney and the inevitable B*Witched megamix - not just C'est La Vie and Rollercoaster, but Jessie Hold On too! The second Big Gay Sunday even saw the start of two YSTV relationships. | A typical Toffs Sunday would be compered by a Lily Savage-esque MC, who made it onto the YSTV quotes board with "no I will not play the f***ing YMCA".

The social was referenced in [[Good Morning Campus]] as an example of what YSTV had got up to in the previous year. After this point the social happened rarely - mainly because Toffs decided they didn't want to be associated with something like a gay night. There were occasional revivals though, the most recent in early 2007. | The social was referenced in [[Good Morning Campus]] as an example of what YSTV had got up to in the previous year.

There were occasional revivals though, the most recent in early 2007, partly down to Toffs realising that if they didn't market Sunday as a gay night, no-one would go, so it re-became a gay night after all. | ||
