Hello!
This is just a quick message to tell you the friendly people over at ORG
Stoke are running their second annual social in August OCTOBER! Yes
yes, we know it's hardly summer - but there were a bunch of people not
free this year in August... just go with it.
Where? China Gardens (the Toby Carvery pub in Festival Park)
When? Tuesday 6th October from 6pm onwards
The event is purposefully designed to welcome anyone from the local
area, including from other groups. So you don’t need to be a member to
come along.
Please see their official Meetup event here…

If you don’t fancy RSVP’ing on that page… just reply to this (or email
stoke(a)openrightsgroup.org) if you could please, to get an idea of
numbers of people coming.
Here is the summary from that page…

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! (possibly some
prizes too!) Perhaps some other games and activities as well… but yeah
we’ll have stuff to do reason to get to know each other.
Hope to see you there! Bring as many people along as you like!
