[ANNOUNCE] February Social Meeting - Thursday the 8th of Feb, The Crosse Keys, Bank

[Simon Wistow]

It's February. Again! And after a month of freakish weather what better 
way to celebrate than to have not one but TWO london.pm meetings. The 
first is, of course, the not-officially-sanctioned-but-still-loved 
Heretics Meeting announced elsewhere but, in addation, you can saunter 
merrily on your way on Feb the 8th to The Crosse Keys in Bank.

You don't even have to saunter. You can stroll, sashay, gavotte, 
foxtrot, march, hop, skip, jump, run, jog, powerwalk, roll or even 
leapfrog.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Again. Since I am yet again 
ensconced in California's sunny Bay Area attempting to work. If it makes 
you feel better than I shall have a sympathetic pint of what the 
Americans laughably call IPA later. On my own. Sob.

Although, I note that it has Wireless provided by The Cloud so if 
anybody wants to set up a webcam then ....

Have fun, my dear Mongers. I miss you and your adorable antics.

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.
