The May social is in 3 weeks, and I have good news -- there will be
free beer!
My own company is launching a new product and for shameless plugging
purposes / drumming up vague enthusiasm, is going to put some money
behind the bar.

This month we're looking to encourage people who've been lurking but
not yet joined us, to do so. Perl programmer or not, beer drinker or
not, black or white, male or female, bearded, unbearded or
stubbly[1], come along and join us in the name of Perl[2]. Though
there are (absolutely untrue[3]) rumours we have been approaching
parity between women and Daves, the rumours of our friendliness
permeating london are true[4].
Surely free beer can tempt some of you to the Edgar?
Socials are always fun, come along and see!

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 Leon out - we have a
tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a
drink (orange or not, either's fine) and introduces them to people.
