Hello!
This is just a quick message to tell you the friendly people over at ORG Stoke are running
a new annual social in August!
Where? China Gardens (the Toby Carvery pub in Festival Park)
When? Tuesday 12th August from 6pm onwards
The even 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…
https://www.meetup.com/org-stoke-on-trent/events/310298752/
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 first annual Summer Open Rights Night!
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 Tony 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! I’ve read that this pub recently had £600k spent on it, so hopefully it’ll be a
great venue 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!
