Hello! The November social of the London Perlmongers is a mere two days away. I hope you are all excited. This month, we're going back to the Edgar Wallace, where we have the upstairs function room booked from 6:30pm.
The Edgar Wallace has eight handpumps and its own house beer, and serves decent food at reasonable prices. It's very close to Temple Station on the District and Circle lines, but it's also walkable from several other stations including Chancery Lane (Central Line) and Holborn (Central and Piccadilly). Maps, more info, etc: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Edgar_Wallace,_WC2R_3JF Standard blurb: Social meets are a chance for the various members of the group to meet up face to face and chat with each other about things - both Perl and non-Perl - and newcomers are more than welcome. The monthly meets tend to be bigger than the other ad hoc meetings that take place at other times, and we make sure that they're in easy to get to locations and the pub serves food (meaning that people can eat in the bar if they want to). They normally start around 6.30pm (or whenever people get there after work) and a group tends to be left come closing time. If you're a newcomer or other first timer (even if you've been lurking on the mailing list or on IRC) then please seek Greg out - we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a drink (alcoholic or not, either's fine) and introduces them to people.
