I'd be happy with 'Feeling Peckish' again unless anyone can think of 
somewhere else? Not sure what time I'll be able to make it next weekend 
though as Friday is Beer/Curry/Casino night in London (assuming I make it 
back).

At the moment the Rose seems to be a bit random on punter levels, a few 
beers and an Indian sounds good to me though :D

I think the pub crawl/alternative would be good and as you say it would be 
even better if we could get a few new faces to brave it :).

I wouldn't mind invading Mansfield and maybe some of the other localish LUGs 
(I'd also be happy to drive).
