I'm fine with the idea, not sure how it might merge with whatever plans the <a href="http://backstage.bbc.co.uk">backstage.bbc.co.uk</a> 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).
<br><br>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! <br><br>Muz<br><br>

Also, I'd argue that any form of pub quiz makes more sense when you<br>have a more multi-disciplinary audience...<br><br>Quoting Luke Redpath <<a href="mailto:contact@lukeredpath.co.uk">contact@lukeredpath.co.uk</a>>:

<br>>>> I wanted to give you a heads up on a possible Christmas Bash I'm<br>>>> planning.<br>>>> It looks like it will be funded by <a href="http://Backstage.bbc.co.uk">Backstage.bbc.co.uk</a>, which means a
<br>>>> super nice venue<br>>>><br>>>> Anyway, as you guys all run some of the technical events in London...<br>>>> (Perlmongers and London Ruby Users Group)<br>>>><br>>>> I would love to make the event a joint event with some or all of you.
<br>>>> I<br>>>> should be able to find a large enough venue with areas so you can<br>>>> each<br>>>> have your own speakers but people can mingle and enjoy the whole<br>>>> event.
<br>>>> Backstage would pay for the venue and if you want to get your own<br>>>> sponsors that's fine or Backstage could maybe also pay for food.<br>>>><br>>>> Yes it sounds kind of crazy, but there is nothing gained if we don't
<br>>>> at least try it, right?<br>>>><br>>>> Let me know what you guys think. I'm thinking about the start of<br>>>> December just after the Developer Day 4 and the girl geek dinner.<br>
