London.pm Social - Edgar Wallace WC2R, 7th May 2009

[James Laver]

Only a week to go until as many as possible of us enjoy delicious beer.

This one is a london.pm favourite, so don't miss out!

This month we are trying to encourage new people who have been lurking  
to come and visit. We're a friendly bunch, don't hide away.

There's an added incentive this month. To celebrate the upcoming  
launch of my company's latest product, I will be putting money behind  
the bar.*

See you next week.

* Yes, free beer. And yes, it's delicious beer. †
† And if you're new, you also get a free beer from Léon. It's win-win.

> The May social of the London Perl Mongers is on Thursday 7th
> May 2009. We're going to the Edgar Wallace, a pub with delicious
> real ale off the Strand. We have the upstairs room from 6:00pm.

> 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
> 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 Leon out - we have a
> tradition that the leader of this motley crew buys the new people a
> drink (orange or not, either's fine) and introduces them to people.
