Jeff the landlord serves tasty ales, ciders, wines and more, and Lara the chef makes lovely foods. We've got the upstairs room booked. See you there! The Gunmakers 13 Eyre Street Hill London EC1R 5ET http://thegunmakers.co.uk/ http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Gunmakers,_EC1R_5ET 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 Tom out - we have a tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a drink and introduces them to people. -- ilmari "A disappointingly low fraction of the human race is, at any given time, on fire." - Stig Sandbeck Mathisen From david at cantrell.org.uk Wed Jan 9 12:10:31 2013 From: david at cantrell.org.uk (David Cantrell) Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 12:10:31 +0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Croyden.pm social, 14 Feb Message-ID: <20130109121031.GA21354@bytemark.barnyard.co.uk> Croyden.pm will be meeting at the Dog & Bull, Surrey St, CR0 1RG, on the 14th of February.

The QA Hackathon will take place over three days between 12-14th April 2012 in the North West of England, yes there is a lot of England beyond the northern border to the M25. The closest airport is Manchester, though there are also airports that are nearby at Blackpool, Liverpool, Leeds/Bradford, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh. If you are coming via train, it is 2hrs 20mins from Euston to the city the venue will take place in. If you are planning to attend this years event then you will need to visit the wiki and fill in details on the Attendees page along with the Expenses, Catering and Travel pages. This year we are asking potential attendees to make a positive plan of what they hope to work on or achieve while at the event so that we can not only build a better Perl but promote the event appropriately and gain sufficient sponsorship to make it the best possible hackathon. If you would like to sponsor the event, or know of someone who would sponsor then please contact Mark or Ian at your earliest convenience. We will also be allowing people to make smaller donations or complete sponsorship through the EPO website using our internal donation system. We welcome any contribution towards making this event happen. I cannot stress the importance of sponsorship and donation enough and if you can encourage an employer to sponsor, or find it in your hearts/pockets to donate yourself then we would be extraordinarily grateful.
