Given this fact, a few of us are getting together in the Canalhouse, on Canal St, on July 25th for a few drinks and a bit of a chin-wag. The more the merrier! It'd be handy to have /some/ indication if people are thinking of coming, but only so I can pre-warn the pub and try to secure a suitably sized table -- I don't know how busy they get on a Thursday night. I'll be there from around 7, traffic after work notwithstanding. There will be at least one toy camel, for ease of identification. (Feel free to bring more!) In terms of other typical Perl Monger group communication "stuff", we have: - a new Twitter account for announcements and some general Perl bits: https://twitter.com/nottinghamperl - this mailing list, resurrected - a website, just as soon as the DNS updates! - a small presence on http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2013/stats ;-) There's also an IRC channel, but I suspect its purpose will be to have a topic which acts a signpost pointing to the list and the website. Welcome back, everybody! All the best, hopefully see some of you on the 25th... Cheers, James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: It turns out it's been up and running for a while, and I'd been fooled by Chrome's caching and some DNS weirdness. Anyway, the new (minimal, as yet) website is up, at http://nottingham.pm.org/ Content suggestions welcome -- perhaps you could mention them in the pub, tomorrow night...

I live near Lincoln, and Nottingham seems to be my nearest Perl Mongers' group. Been dabbling with Perl for years, but recently rekindled my fascination with it since it's become quite useful at work. I'm a member of a computer club which meets once a month at Imperial College in London, but I find it hard to get there nowadays. Need my geek fix, so I'm turning to you. How did the social go on Thursday, and how many turned up? Sorry I missed it. Been on a few pub crawls in Nottingham, and it's a great city. I'll try to make the social in August, but public transport in this country is so useless: cycle to Lincoln; one hour 40 mins on the train with a change; same in reverse; hope to get home before it's time to get up for work in the morning. -- Chris Randle From jimbo.green at gmail.com Sun Jul 28 04:41:18 2013 From: jimbo.green at gmail.com (James Green) Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 12:41:18 +0100 Subject: [Nottingham-pm] REMINDER: Nottingham.pm's second first social meeting, 2013-07-25, Canalhouse In-Reply-To: <51F4EE1C.3050308@amlog.co.uk> References: <51F4EE1C.3050308@amlog.co.uk> Message-ID: Hi Chris, good to hear from you -- welcome :-) On 28 July 2013 11:10, Chris Randle wrote: > How did the social go on Thursday, and how many turned up?

Had a couple of expressions of interest since, so it's all moving in the right direction. Which reminds me, there's no date set for August yet... I should get to that! > I'll try to make the social in August, but public transport in this > country is so useless: cycle to Lincoln; one hour 40 mins on the train with > a change; same in reverse; hope to get home before it's time to get up for > work in the morning. Yowch. On the bright side, our venue of choice is right next to Nottingham station, so at least it's easy at this end -- for however much that helps. Hope to see you next month, anyway :-) All the best, James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've been looking at what dates don't clash with other similar Nottingham events (it'd be rude to compete with NottGLUG, or Nottingham Programmers, for instance)... and Thursdays in general are busy, busy nights. Tuesdays, however, _appear_ to be mostly clear. With this in mind, anyone fancy Tuesday the 13th? Same time - from 7pm - and same place - the Canalhouse. Counter-offers welcome :-) All the best, James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
