Even when we counted middle names (2 more that I was aware of). Where are all the Daves? I wonder how long before we have a point during a social where there are more women than Daves, even with all the men declaring themselves honourary Daves. October 2nd? November 6th? December 4th? (as to the pub, it was rather warm, and it got rather noisy later on. No-one (myself included) has updated http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Crown_Tavern,_EC1R_0EG yet) Again, thanks to Kake for organising us space in pubs. Nicholas Clark

It's a short walk from Chancery Lane station (Central line) and an even shorter one from Farringdon station (Circle, Hammersmith City, Metropolitan lines). Buses 55, 63, 153, and 243 all stop nearby.

They also, of course, do food - I only tried the whitebait, but on the evidence of that, it's perfectly fine. 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.

I wonder if we can also redefine other days to be honourary Thursdays ? Every day is an honourary Thursday? Or is this the new heresy? :-) Nicholas Clark
