[Simon Wistow]

A special London.pm Christmas bash just before the LPW this year - 
beloved Pub Tzar Adam has manage to secure us space at The Bavarian 
Beerhouse on Old Street where we can clink Mass, eat Schnitzel and 
basically be merry to the rolling sounds of Oompa Music.

Now the standard blurb ...                                                         

  Social meetings are a chance for people to meet up face to face for a            
  quiet drink (alcoholic or not) A fair chunk of Perl is talked at the             
  meetings, but also people who have no interest in the language often             
  pop along to socialise.  There's no charge to enter, no agenda, and we           
  tend to think of it more as pleasant drinks rather than any serious              
  endeavour.                                                                       
                                                                                   
  People normally turn up after work, and many stay until closing time.            
  Food is normally consumed at the pub by those wanting nourishment                
  though sometimes small groups of people head off for food either                 
  during or after the meeting.
