Monthly meetings

The group has been meeting for over five years. Initially we met in Clapham, but now we tend to rotate between members' houses, bars convenient to everyone, or restaurants. We try to keep it fun - for example fish and chips for the time we discussed both Cod and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, and curry for White Tiger.
