We welcome everyone from similar local groups such as (but not limited to!)... ORG Stoke, Potteries Hackspace, and FSFE Potteries to come along and join us! Plus bring along any friends or family too! This year it'll be on *Tuesday 9th December from 6:00pm onwards until late (at most 10pm)* *CLICK HERE FOR THE WEB PAGE WITH ALL THE VENUE DETAILS! <https://www.meetup.com/staffslug/events/312143326>* Stuff to know... *It's FREE -* We're pickup up the bill for the bowling all evening! *The place -* It's a private function room in the centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme, that can hold up to 40 people and comes complete with 4 full size ten pin bowling lanes. The room has plenty of comfortable seating booths too, for people get a drink or eat food. This room is located upstairs in the same building as the Vue cinema... and you can find exact directions in the 'How to find us' section. *All the games are free and unlimited! -* All 4 bowling lanes will be on unlimited free play for the whole evening, 6 people at most to a lane. *It's social! -* There are plenty of places to sit and just have a quiet chat (no loud music if you don't want it!). Not everyone will be bowling anyway... so don't feel like you have to. *There is food and drinks -* The venue has a kitchen serving hot food (including vegan and gluten free) as well as offering soft, hot, and alcoholic drinks. Sweets are also available and kids get to drink squash for free! We've put a copy of the details of the food and drink offered by the venue at this link... click here <https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Potteries/Lymelight%20Lanes?action=Atta... ...and ordering is possible both at the concessions window and via a QR code! *Open to all in the LUG, ORG, PHS, FSF, and beyond! -* So a great mix of people in one social... but you're also welcome to bring friends and family too. The *only thing we ask is that you RSVP if you're coming* as we need to be sure it'll be under 40 people. So don't worry if it doesn't look like many are coming, as this has gone out to other groups too. *It's a veritable Flörgåsbord!* *-* Forgive the silly name! It comes from trying to merge many acronyms together and instead "Florg" kind of got us thinking about Free/Libre orgs... which then turned into Flörgåsbord... kind of like Smörgåsbord (a Swedish buffet)... so basically people from lots of different local technology groups!. *It's a Christmas thing! -* We won't plague the whole evening with Christmas music or anything! But it's our way of saying thanks and getting together at the end of the year. *Travel* - Regular buses to the towns bus station then just a short walk down Hassell Street. Taxi rank on adjacent Hassell Street. Lymelight Boulevard multi-story parking is 1 Hour £1.50, 2 Hours £2.60, 3 Hours £3.70, 4 Hours £4.80, and 24 Hours £5.70. Council ran car parks are available in the town (see here <https://hopto.link/nulcarparks>). Nearby off-street council car parks offer £1 for all evening. *Please only RSVP (you can just reply to this email... or instead email info(a)staffslug.org.uk <info(a)staffslug.org.uk>) to say you are coming... if you're REALLY intending on coming... as we want an accurate count of numbers.* _______________________________________________ StaffsLUG Meetings mailing list -- meetings(a)lists.staffslug.org.uk To unsubscribe send an email to meetings-leave(a)lists.staffslug.org.uk -- Military history author <https://russellphillips.uk/> : Mastodon/Fediverse <https://gts.phillipsuk.org/@RPBook> _______________________________________________ StaffsLUG Meetings mailing list -- meetings(a)lists.staffslug.org.uk To unsubscribe send an email to meetings-leave(a)lists.staffslug.org.uk
