As ever, it will be held at the Wetherspoons pub, near the NetworkRail building (not the one in the Xscape), opposite the Pinnacle:MK http://osm.org/go/eu4qJDHoE-- Starting from 7pm, and going on till the last people stumble off home. We usually inhabit one of the two large tables infront of the curved benches in front of the bar.
