You could come to the next social, and claim your first timer's free pint*, as

[ANNOUNCE] October social - Thurs 2 Oct - Bridge House, SE1

2008-09-25 Thread Kake L Pugh
Hello!  For the October social, 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%2C_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, with not one but
two delightful staff members.


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.

It's also a good meeting if you are planning to come to the, 

 London Perl Workshop 2008 - Nov 29th
 http://conferences.yapceurope.org/lpw2008/

and want to just meet some people before it. As well as the great
talks that MDK is arranging it's always good to talk to people in the
corridors of an LPW about your current interests in Perl, programming,
open source, computing or indeed any of the other varied interests of
L.pm (photography, magic the gathering, astronomy, physics, ancient
greek, maths, magic, cookery, real ale, add, landrovers, buffy, pie,
mercedes, lexus, Heroes, cigars, welding, electronic music, etc etc)

Oh and there is a tech meet coming up soon as well, thanks to Leon.
