We'll assemble at (or before) 6:00pm on Tuesday evening (Sep 13th) at some pub. Previous social events have started with beer at JJ Murphys followed by curry at Little India. Maybe someone will come up with a different exciting plan this time. Stay tuned for details. http://wellington.pm.org/ Also - feel free to drag your non-Perl-programming mates along to let them discover what a jolly fine bunch of folks we are. The exhausting schedule of technical meetings will resume next month (and as usual I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to speak at that meeting).
