<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>For May, we're once again going to an old haunt that we haven't visited for a few months, this time the Shooting Star. It's a Fuller's "Ale and Pie House", thus immediately covering two of London.pm's favourite activities.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Shooting Star is easy to find. It's about three minutes walk from Liverpool Street station, and hides in a side street just behind Dirty Dicks which you can see from the main station entrance. There should be a few tables in the</div>
<div>main bar reserved for us from 6pm.</div><div><br></div><div>But what could be better than a decent pint in a good pub? That's right, free drinks! We at Broadbean Technology are putting £200 behind the bar. We're also hiring...</div>

<div><br></div><div>Standard blurb:</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
