It's DECEMBER!
I've had this booked since the start of November (for those of you who
frequent the IRC / Discord... you'll know)... but it's time to properly
get the word out!
*For it's second year running...* we bring back "Flörgåsbord"... our
annual tenpin bowling evening for the groups of StaffsLUG, ORG Stoke,
and FSFE Potteries. Which was a massive success last year!
This year it'll be on *Tuesday 17th December from 6:00pm onwards
(although most will arrive around 6:30pm)*
*CLICK HERE FOR THE WEB PAGE WITH ALL THE VENUE DETAILS!
<https://wiki.fsfe.org/action/show/LocalGroups/Potteries/Lymelight%20Lanes...
Stuff to know...
*The room -* For this evening we have privately booked a room in the
centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme, that can hold up to 40 people and comes
complete with 4 full size ten pin bowling lanes. The room also has
plenty of comfortable seating booths for people get a drink or eat food
(with ordering possible via QR code). This room is located upstairs from
the Vue cinema... and you can find exact directions in the 'How to find
us' section.
*It's FREE -* We're pickup up the bill for the bowling all evening!
*All the games are free and unlimited! -* All 4 bowling lanes will be on
unlimited free play for the whole evening, 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 have a quiet chat (no loud music if you don't
want it!). Not everyone will be bowling anyway... so don't feel like you
have to. Previously we used to do a "End of Year Activities" workshop,
so this has replaced that and it's more fun.
*There is food and drinks -* The venue has a kitchen serving hot food
(so you don't need to eat before coming out) as well as offering drinks.
We've put a copy of the details of the food and drink offered by the
venue at this link... click here
<https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Potteries/Lymelight%20Lanes%20Food%20an...
...and you can now ordering everything by using the QR codes shown on
the tables of their new seating booths!
*Open to all in the LUG, ORG, and FSF***(and their guests!)* -* 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 RSVP if
you're coming* as we need to be sure it'll be under 40 people. So don't
worry if it doesn't look like many are coming, as this has gone out to
other groups too.
*It's a veritable Flörgåsbord!* *-* Forgive the silly name! It comes
from trying to merge the acronyms FSF/LUG/ORG that then got us "Florg"
which then turned into Flörgåsbord... kind of like Smörgåsbord (a
Swedish buffet)... so basically people from lots of different local
technology groups!.
*It's a Christmas thing! -* We like running these at Christmas time...
so you can consider this as a more fun way to get together... rather
than a Christmas meal every year!
*Travel* - Plenty of way to get to Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre
(including buses... as it's got it's own bus station). If you're parking
then you can either use the Vue cinema park car, or one of the council
ran car parks (see here
<https://www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/car-parks/car-parking-charges-opening...>).
*Please RSVP! If you're on our mailing list, then just e-mail back.
***Alternatively (or if you just like being private!)* then just e-mail
me directly on info(a)staffslug.org.uk to say you are coming... so I can
keep a track of numbers.*

*UPDATE ON TOMORROW NIGHTS BOWLING!

Thank you to everyone who has replied so far!
Since this event has got RSVP's from 3 different groups, via multiple
email inboxes, mailing lists, chat rooms, and websites (and not everyone
likes using Meetup.com!)... it can be hard to see who is going :)
But looking at all the replies, it's sure to have around as many people
as last year... where we had 25 people. A fair few kids going too, so
don't worry about bringing the family along too.
So still plenty of space... please RSVP if you're thinking of coming,
even if it's just a maybe.
Either reply back... send an email to info(a)staffslug.org.uk... or RSVP
via Meetup.com <https://www.meetup.com/staffslug/events/304868404/>;.
*Thanks!*
*See you there!*
