Ah, that reminds me. At the emergency social (and I hope Kate will get round to posting a report soon) I picked up a leaflet for the Great British Beer Festival [0], which happens to run from the 6th to the 10th of August, coinciding with the next social meeting (on Thursday 8th August, in case you hadn't kept track). There have previously been meetings at the beer festival (both in 1999 [1] and 2001 [2]), so would people like to do this again? The main catch I can see is the ticket price (6 UKP), but the people at the pub on Wednesday reckoned you'd make that back in the worth of the beer you were drinking. So, do people think this is a good idea, or would you rather have an ordinary pub meet?
