[ANNOUNCE] [SOCIAL] Thursday 2nd November at The Windmill, Mayfair

[Simon Wistow]

Deck the halls with, err, pumpkins and fake cobwebs.

No, wait. That's next month.

Narrowly missing both the annual "Burn the effigy of a Catholic" fest 
*and* the chance to been Thursday the first and thus level up to be a 
Heretics Meet (aligned Neutral/Chaos, gains +4 flagon of Inebriation), 
the November Social AMBUSHES us like a sneaky Tiger. Albeit a sneaky 
tiger that's utterly predictable in its movements.

This month we're going back to The Windmill - mainly because I crave 
pie, Hot Pimms and Double Chocolate stout ... not necessarily in that 
order.

Due to unforseen problems (namely, not being within 6000 miles of 
London) I've missed at least the last 2 Socials so I shall there, nice 
and early full of vim, vigour and the usual witty bandinage. Come! See 
what working from home for a month does to a man. 

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.                                                     
                                    

Directions from Oxford Circus

  Walk south out of the tube station onto Regent Street (not onto Oxford 
  Street and directly away from the church). After about 200m, turn 
  right down Conduit Street (roughly opposite Hamley's) and then turn 
  right again down a smaller road called Mill Street, where you'll find 
  the pub. Directions from Piccadilly Circus

  Come out of the station and head north up Regent Street. After about 
  500m turn left onto Conduit Street (which is approximately opposite 
  Hamley's.) After this turn right onto a smaller road called Mill 
  Street, where you'll find the pub.

Directions from Green Park

  Turn east (left) out of the station, and walk for about two hundred 
  meters. Shortly before the Royal Academy of Arts, on your left will be 
  Old Bond Street. Walk up here about 300 meters till you'll get to 
  Conduit Street on your right. Walk down here, and take the second left 
  down a smaller road called Mill Street, where you'll find the pub. 
  Directions from Bond Street

  Turn east (right) out of the station. After about a hundred meters you 
  should come to New Bond Street on your right. Walk down here for about 
  400m, and then turn left onto Conduit Street shortly after Sotherby's. 
  The second left is Mill Street, where you will find the pub.
