I can confirm that our celebrations for "I Love Free Software Day" will be on Tuesday 11th February <https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Potteries/Calendar>;. We've once again chosen to host this event at the marvellous KPA Clubhouse <https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Potteries/KPA%20Clubhouse> where we normally hold social meetings. You can find photos of *last years* event here... click me! <https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Potteries/Calendar/2024-02-13> ...if you want a peek at how this normally looks! We'll have free hot food and snacks (inc. vegan and gluten friendly), soft drinks, and a few laptops running Free Software applications and games, so you can give them a spin! Everyone is welcome, so bring along your friends, significant other, or family of all ages!  Even if they've never heard of Free Software before, it'll be a good way to introduce them to the topic.
