London Perl Mongers organises social meetings every month. The technical meetings are a chance to chat informally with the Perl community.
We're going back to the Gunmakers this Thursday (6th May), where the lovely landlord Jeff always welcomes us with open arms, foamy beers, non-foamy ciders and tasty meats! There is also a general election on that day. You may wish to vote. The Gunmakers 13 Eyre Street Hill EC1R 5ET http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=ec1r+5et&ll=51.52251,-0.110528&spn=0.01032,0.021071 http://thegunmakers.co.uk/ http://twitter.com/thegunmakers http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Gunmakers,_EC1R_5ET 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 Léon (the guy in orange with a stuffed camel) out - we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a drink and introduces them to people. See you there! Léon
