Anniversary Beer
As some of you will remember, last year I organised commemorative beer for our 10th anniversary (go london.pm!) Yesterday, a london.pm member twittered about how much he enjoyed drinking some of it in the sunshine. This evening, another member IRCd about how much he enjoyed it. And then other people have said they really enjoyed it and wish they had some left. So I offered to reorder. This year we'll order it early to make the most of the summer. We need 120 bottles to make it worth their while and they'll deliver to the june social (which will fall on the 4th and hasn't yet been announced -- it is quite a way away). I've got 42 bottles confirmed so far. If you want in, please message me offlist. Please also make sure that you will be there to pick up the beer or make arrangements for someone else to. I'll put a 3 week cap on orders, so don't delay! Cheers, --James

Don't forget to keep a few of them for the Lisbon auction. It'll be worth it, if only to watch people throwing in a lot of money for beer in the land of cheap beer... ;-) -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) Be careful when you take one side or the other.

Handy, as it happens, since 4 cases were claimed by people who didn't pre-order but decided that actually, they wanted beer. I'll sponsor 6 bottles (12 quid IIRC) for the hell of it. Anyone else willing to do the same? --James P.S. why haven't I heard of other PM groups organising anniversary beer?

Now, how about we organise a pissup in a brewery? Social at the fullers brewery tap? ;) --James
