Midweek Beer: A real life Thanet meet up

Fancy a get-together?

I don't know how it is for you but I have met in person only a very small fraction of my readers and an even smaller fraction of my fellow bloggers (unless ECR and the anons are actually old mates of mine keeping it secret).

I'm going to be hanging out at the World Bar in old town Margate from about 7pm on this Wednesday and have invited a large number of people to come join me. This would be an ideal time for bloggers and blog readers who are free that night to roll up and say hi to each other. We don't have to stay in that venue nor do we "have to" do anything else.

There is no agenda beyond having a good time

It's open to all (being a public bar and all) so ECR can show his real face and pose as a reader. Yes, that does mean Simon Moores is invited but no, I do not think he'd want to come meet me for a pint somehow.

All are welcome but the topics of Politics and Religion might want to have an early night so we Internet users can take an evening off too. If you fancy seeing the man behind this blog then you know where to show your face this week.
