Summer Open Rights Night

Join us for our second annual Summer Open Rights Night!

Yes, yes… October probably isn’t summer… but lots of people didn’t seem like they were going to be free in August this year! So it is a bit delayed, but sod it we’re keeping the name!

This is a relaxed social gathering, both for ORG Stoke members (including those of you who are just on the mailing list) and also for anyone else from other local groups that have an interest in digital rights, free speech, and privacy.

We'll be meeting at the China Gardens pub (the To-B-y Carvery) in Festival Park, and hopefully it’ll be sunny so we can all sit outside in the beer garden… that is right on the canal! A couple of years back this pub had £600k spent on it, so hopefully it’ll be a great venue again that is fairly central to Stoke-on-Trent. It’s easy to get to by both car, bus, and I guess barge too!

Officially we’re not providing any food or drinks at this event, but you can get whatever you need from the bar… and if you’re a student or something I’m sure we can donate a pint or two!

Mostly this will be a social with conversation occasionally (but it’s not mandatory!) being related to current worries or ideas you have about the ever changing digital rights landscape in the UK.

We’ll also be running a team-based, multiple-choice quiz! (with prizes that will be eerily similar to last year!)... but this won't start until 7pm. So plenty of time to get to know each other before hand and get into teams if needed.

Hope to see you there! Bring as many people along as you like!
