[ANNOUNCE] London.pm September Social - Thursday 4th Sep. - De Hems, W1D 5BW

[Jérôme Étévé]

Hi,

For our September social, we'll be heading at De Hems, which despite
being some sort of dutch place, also serves a good selection of real
ales to go with your frikandels.

Nearest tube is probably Leicester Sq. though we could argue Picaddily
Circus is not very far neither.

Tables have been booked for 6.30pm, and if you are a newcomer, look
out for our glorious kapellmaister Sue who will be holding the camel.

De Hems
11 Macclesfield Street
W1D 5BW

http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars/de-hems-review-11170.html

Cheers,

Jerome.



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 out -
we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people
a drink and introduces them to people.

[ANNOUNCE] London Perl M[ou]ngers September Social - 2013-09-05 - Kings Arms, SE1 1YT

[Peter Corlett]

Hi,

This month, we're going South Of The River to yet another new venue, the Kings
Arms. It is a quiet traditional pub hidden away in a side alleyway just off
Borough High Street, just moments from the rammed pubs around Borough Market.
It is about equidistant between London Bridge and Borough stations.

Myself and another Perlmonger had several remarkably good pints of Harveys
Sussex Best in there last Thursday evening. It is one of their permanent ales,
and no doubt something many of us will attempt to drink dry this coming
Thursday.

Note that despite the standard blurb below, this pub does not serve food in the
evening beyond the usual bar snacks. If arriving early, you could pick up
something from Borough Market. Alternatively there are a few eateries in the
area you could go to before or after the social.

It's very appealing, but a silly suggestion for a normal social as it's
too far out.  I decree an ORIGINAL AND BEST social there on the 1st of
May 2014.

It's an alright pub, but a bit of an echoey barn. I vote against because
I can't hear people talking in it, unless we're in the basement bar.

I don't go to enough socials to be sick of it, but one of the reasons I
don't go is because "oh, it's the Gunmakers again, which is mildly
inconvenient for me".

September social

[Peter Corlett]

Hello, fellow camel-fondlers,

I haven't made an announcement for the upcoming social on the 5th of September
because I've not booked or even selected a pub yet! I'd like to offer up my
shortlist for you to vote and/or comment on.



King's Arms, SE1 1YT (London Bridge):
http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?King%27s_Arms,_SE1_1YT

This is a nice little boozer that I blundered into on Thursday. It does a
cracking pint of Harvey's. And unlike all of the pubs around Borough Market, it
was not only not utterly rammed, but quiet and pleasant.

The downside: They don't normally do food in the evening. I understand they
could come to an arrangement.



The Sultan, SW19 1BN (Collier's Wood)
http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Sultan,_SW19_1BT

This is my local :)

An excellent pub, and the only Hop Back pub in London. In six years of drinking
there, I've had exactly one "bad" pint. Or rather, one that was merely OK
rather than perfect. Permanent fixtures are Hop Back's GFB, Summer Lightning,
Entire Stout. There's a rotating "guest" which is either a Hop Back or Downton
Brewery ale.

As to the downsides: again, it has no food, although the regulars just seem to
bring in bags of fried things from the chippy down the road. The other major
downside is that it is way out in south London in Zone 3.

While I'm not convinced of its suitability for a social, some of the other
London.pm folk have said that they would come to a social here. It's probably a
better choice for a random mid-month weekend social.



The Melton Mowbray, EC1N 2LE (Chancery Lane)
http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Melton_Mowbray,_EC1N_2LE

A fairly typical Fullers Ale and Pie house in central London. The location's
right and it does beer and food.

This pub was suggested to me because the "First Thursday" science fiction group
meets there, and there is a bit of an overlap between our groups.
http://news.ansible.co.uk/london.html has some information. They even have a
funky "not always the first Thursday" system that puts me in mind of our
Orthodox/Heretics system. So we'd be going and gatecrashing them.

Gatecrashing is hardly unknown to London.pm, although it's usually random
people crashing us! So this idea appeals to me somewhat.



The Gunmakers (Farringdon):

We know it well. Are we sick of it yet?



So, feedback? Otherwise you're probably getting the Gunmakers again.

Slander.  He did make a brave effort but, when I stuck the credit card behind 
the bar recently, he barely dented the bar bill compared proportionally to the 
UKNOTers.

Not sure if it was just poor effort on the night or that you're all going a bit 
girly or that you're just girly compared to UKNOTers. LPW will tell.

I was particularly amused to watch one social where the sponsor was called over 
to the bar after about twenty minutes. I couldn't hear the conversation, but 
the expression said "What do you mean you've reached the £250 credit limit I

I've got out of the habit of setting up the Facebook/Upcoming events.
I'll try to be a little more organised in the future.

Bugger. Sorry about that. Every time I set it up, Facebook gave an error.

Anyway, it's there now.

Some of us prefer to socialise with people, not chickenboner advertisers.

I know, using a social networking site for erm, no, eh, what?
And just think, if someone else had already done this, how would one
find out? I looked carefully on
rec.perl.social-networking.facebook.groups.iamboredwiththisemailnow.

Why would we need a facebook event for a regular monthly thing like
this?  If you really want one, you could set one up yourself.

[ Apologies for the late announcement, hope as many as possible can still
  make it. ]

For the September London Perl Monger Social we return to an old
favourite, The Edgar Wallace, just off Strand.  They serve tasty pub
food and an ever-changing selection of real ales, and we've got the
upstairs room booked from 18:30.

The Edgar Wallace
40-41 Essex Street
London WC2R 3JF
http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Edgar_Wallace,_WC2R_3JF

Closest tube: Temple (Circle and District lines)

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 Léon (the guy in orange
with a stuffed camel) out - we have a tradition that the leader of this
motley crew buys the new people a drink and introduces them to people.

Simply declare all the women to be honourary Daves.

IIRC, around 6:30 we were 6 men (including 1 Dave), and 5 women, and at
some point later 11 men (including 2 Daves) and 9 women.

Epic Dave fail. 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.

[ANNOUNCE] September social - Thurs 4 Sep - Crown, Clerkenwell Green

[Kake L Pugh]

Hello!  For the September social, we're going somewhere we've not been
before - the Crown on Clerkenwell Green.  We have the upstairs function
room booked from 6:30pm.  There's no bar up there, but they do offer
table service.

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.

Maps, more info, etc:
  http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Crown_Tavern,_EC1R_0EG

When I checked it out last week, they had Westons cider, Adnams
Bitter, London Pride, and Landlord on handpump, as well as Aspall's
cider on tap, Fruli and Peche beers in bottles, and various lagers.
They also, of course, do food - I only tried the whitebait, but on
the evidence of that, it's perfectly fine.
