On Friday 25th March, the Museum of Science and Industry play host to their first Real Ale Festival.
Never one to ignore a chance to 'support science' in new and interesting ways, the Greater Manchester Skeptics are organising a jaunt over in place of our usual social.

For full info see here: http://www.mosi.org.uk/whats-on/real-ale-festival.aspx

But here's the gist:

We will meet in the Briton's Protection from 5pm (ish)
(50 Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester M1 5LE)
ready for a snappy departure at 5:30 pm to the MOSI to get tickets. Doors open at 6, and we're expecting there to be a queue.

If you are arriving later, let us know below, and we'll organise a number for you to reach so we can meet up later.

£5 adults £4 concessions.

If you're of a skeptical or scientific mindset and enjoy good company and good beers, come and join us for our monthly Manchester Skeptics in the Pub Social.

We'll be meeting in Sandbar, which is located very near to Oxford Road train station and only a 12-minute walk from Piccadilly. It's a brilliant bar with plenty of great beers at a reasonable price, and a 10% discount at the bar for SitP attendees with a namebadge!

There will be no speaker at this event, just good company and interesting conversation. Entry is free, and we'll be there from about 19:15 onwards. It is also a good opportunity to offer any suggestions for speakers, or other Greater Manchester Skeptics ideas you may have.

We hope to see you there!

Sorry for the last-minute notice folks!

As we've mentioned at some of the meets and on the Podcast, there will be a Social with BBQ at Sandbar this tuesday! We'll start early (6pm) so you can come straight from work if you like and get a bite to eat with us.

Come along, bring a friend, or just yourself and your questioning mind!

If you've never been to our meet-up at Sandbar before, it's a very nice pub with lots of drinks options for all, from the Real Ale Connoisseur to the Tee-Totaller. There'll be BBQ burgers etc available. We're negotiating to secure some veggie stuff too! GMS badge wearers will get a big discount on the BBQ plus the usual 10% on drinks!

Geek? Nerd?

Both Towel Day (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy http://en.wikipedia.o...) AND Star Wars Premiere anniversary... what more do we need to convince the SitP Social organisers to have a Geeky bonanza. Stay tuned for more info on this special event.

Oh yes, this will be special! Bring your towel, sonic screwdriver or whatever you fancy... there are great things in the works!
And where better than TV21 with it's awesome sci-fi and film-themed bar?

All suggestions for this event welcome!
