[LRUG] Details for the The Bricklayers Arms (should we want to hire it for a pre-conf bash)

[Luke Redpath]

I'm with Murray here.

I'm sure people will make their own plans on what to do post-conference.

I liked the idea of having the get together before the conf starts as  
its an opportunity to meet people in a more relaxed atmosphere, with  
beer.

Cheers
Luke
