Heresy!

Heresy, I tell you.

Based on previous experience, there are likely to be 3 to 9 people,
and Perl will be as on-topic as any other meeting*

It's unlikely to get to the 32 we had at the Royal Oak a few years back,
which I think bettered the attendance of the meeting on the 8th.

(Poor poor pub. It ran out of beer. Admittedly with a little help from our
friends, specifically the local CAMRA meeting, and a goth sluts meeting)
