Our social this month is on the 24th, so for a bit of a change we thought we'd go to the same pub as we did the month before.

Our next social is in the Vault at the Crown and Kettle on Thursday 25th.

Like most years, 2016 is made of months, and so our traditional monthly socials will continue. January's will be in the Snug at the Lass O'Gowrie.

It's a week early and the wrong side of the Irwell but what the heck — it's Winterval!

To fit around the Manchester Science Festival, out October social will take the date that would normally be the speaker event.

We're hoping to have a social on the 24th, because we like the taste of beer, which statistically means we're more likely to sleep with you on the first date.

As is traditional, we will be at the Church Inn in Hulme for the fourth Thursday of the month to chat, have a few beers, coffees, or whatever you prefer, and generally see who is running the place this time.

More free sandwiches!

No, that wasn't just to get your attention. The interim manager of The Church will once again be providing free sandwiches to accompany the friendly, stimulating and occasionally tipsy discussions which form the basis of our monthly social.

We'll be back at the Church Inn for this month's Skeptics in the Pub social (unless fire).
