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 rarely happened - 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, 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. | The social was referenced in [[Good Morning Campus]] as an example of what YSTV had got up to in the previous year.

A revival of the social took place on 1st July 2007, coinciding with the station's 40th anniversary celebrations. A number of YSTV members past and present went to The Nag's Head followed by Toffs (also the first ever smoke-free night at the club). The event was subtitled "The Reunion" but later got given the name "The Final F***", because it was possibly the last ever Big Gay Sunday, at least to feature much of the original group. | A revival of the social took place on 1st July 2007, coinciding with the station's 40th anniversary celebrations.
