Hello! The December social of the London Perlmongers is this Thursday, 4th December. We're going back to the Bridge House, which is the Adnams place at the south end of Tower Bridge. We have the upstairs function room booked from 6:30pm.
It's a short walk from both London Bridge and Tower Hill stations. People who prefer buses have the choice of the RV1, 42, 47, 78, 188, 343, or 381. Maps, more info, etc: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bridge_House,_SE1_2UP The pub has a full range of well-kept Adnams beers, Aspall cider, and good food. The upstairs bar will be staffed for us. 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 Leon out - we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a drink (orange or not, either's fine) and introduces them to people.
