[LRUG] Christmas Bash with Backstage.bbc.co.uk

[Murray Steele]

I'm fine with the idea, not sure how it might merge with whatever plans the
backstage.bbc.co.uk guys (or perlmongers or whatever) might have.  It sounds
to me like they were talking about having a mini-conf - so it might not work
in a mingling sense if we're sitting in a corner doing a pubquiz and the
other folk are listening to insightful talks about perl or whatever
(especially as every pub quiz I've ever been to over-runs somewhat).

Anyway, this sounds like a good idea so maybe we should do a "normal" style
meeting with these guys instead. They even mentioned free food, my vague
pub-quiz schemes can't trump that!
