Thanks for a great evening everyone and for all the effort put into arranging it.
I particularly enjoyed the bowling
Looking forward to more meet-ups next year…

Flörgåsbord! (A social with 4 free bowling lanes!)
by Steven Maddox
New social meeting for your calendar! (and hopefully a new annual
tradition)
We're calling this "Flörgåsbord" and it'll be on Tuesday 19th December
from 6:30pm onwards (so the usual schedule for LUG meetings)
Stuff to know...
*The room - *We've booked a private room for this event, in the centre
of Newcastle-under-Lyme, that hold up to 40 people (which we're very
unlikely to fill anyway) from 6:30pm onwards until closing... it's
upstairs from the Vue cinema and we'll provide directions.
*There's**4 full sized bowling lanes - *These lanes are ours for the
whole evening for unlimited free play, 6 people at most to a lane.
**
*It's a social - *Just like any of our past socials, there will be
places to sit and just chat (no loud music!). Not everyone will be
bowling anyway, so don't feel like you have to. We would normally have
our "End of Year Activities*" *workshop at this time of the year
anyway... so think of it like that.*
*
*There is food and drinks**-* The venue has a new kitchen serving hot
food (so no need to eat before coming out) as well as offering drinks...
we'll send out details of what kind of food and drinks shortly.
*Open to all in the LUG, ORG, and FSF **-* 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 give us an idea on if you're coming*
as we need to be sure it'll be under 40 people (which it surely will
be... so don't feel like you need to keep a slot open for someone
else... come along!).
*It's a veritable **Flörgåsbord!* *-* We were trying to merge the
acronyms FSF/LUG/ORG and got "Florg" which got compared to the word
Smörgåsbord (a Swedish buffet) and so we made it Flörgåsbord instead (as
a buffet of local technology groups!).
*It's FREE **- *We're pickup up the bill, it's an incredibly small bill
anyway (we're familiar with the management) and so don't worry about it.
*Making up for lost time - *With the confusion over the workshop room
this year, it's good to get back on track again with a meeting... there
wasn't any reason we couldn't have had a social earlier really... it's
just that a lot of us were so busy packing things up that it slipped our
minds.
*We're copying WolvesLUG - *Yeah I'll admit that I got the idea from
seeing them do a Christmas meal every year... so we can do better than that!
So...
I'll send more details shortly including directions, parking, food,
drinks, etc... we'll also put this out on the website and socials
(including meetup.com) with photos shortly.
*Please DO reply... and tell me if you're free and coming... I need to
see replies to this.*

If you're doing name badges, can I suggest adding pronouns along with names? That can help avoid embarrassment.
