Hi, As the newly minted Booze Minion, I am pleased to announce a new-to-us venue for the social. It's the Sekforde Arms in Clerkenwell, a quiet little backstreet pub that serves a range of Real Ales and food. Ominously, it also has a whisky shelf with some interesting bottles. We have the downstairs at the back of the pub.
The Sekforde Arms 34 Sekforde Street London EC1R 0HA http://www.youngs.co.uk/pub-detail.asp?PubID=333 http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Sekforde_Arms%2C_EC1R_0HA 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 (mostly) 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 our Glorious Leader Tom out - we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a drink and introduces them to people.
