This is our monthly social gathering, which incorporates members of The London Java Community and Graduate Developer Communities. This is an informal social evening most of the evening will be spent having ad-hoc informal discussions in small groups.
We are back to our usual venue this month - The Slug and Lettuce, 19/20 Hanover Street, London - http://www.slugandlettuce.co.uk/hanover_street/. We have had some fantastic feedback from those who have attended the event at this venue and will be holding this month's event in the same great location. The venue has a nicely sized function room with its own private bar, there are some great offers on beer, there is free wi-fi and it's easy to move around and chat to lots of people. Most importantly it is a friendly and relaxed environment where developers can get together to chat and network.
The event will kick off at 6:30 PM and usually goes on until around 11:30 with members coming and going at all times throughout the evening. We usually attract 50 – 70 members so it is a lively event in which members, both junior and senior, can connect in a relaxed atmosphere and set the development world to rights.
I'll also be onsite so if anyone is looking for free recruitment advice it's a great chance to come along for a chat.
Special thanks to Atlassian who are kindly sponsoring refreshments! www.atlassian.com

Was my first time and I had a good time, just a shame I was not able to stay for long. Many thanks to James (greeter) who ensured I was not on my own for long.

Good chat. Met some interesting people. More enthusiastic now about my own projects after talking about them. Would have liked more stickers for name badges.
