Hello,
tl;dr: NetMcr, 12th Jan, good social, please submit talks.
When: Thursday 12th January, 2016
Where: 57 Thomas Street, Manchester (the room upstairs)
Time: 19:00 sharp, until ~22:00 (bar open until midnight!)
Cost: Nil
We're aiming to provide a regular, friendly environment, not just for
experienced professionals but for any individual keen to learn more
about the Networking industry, or those looking to simply bolster their
social circles around the profession.
Everyone is invited: please do make a point of forwarding this
invitation on to any colleagues or friends that you might feel would be
interest. *Particularly* those individuals that may not be able to take
time out from work to visit larger events.
Some ideas of individuals that we're trying extra hard to include:
* Junior Support/NOC personnel
* Students or Researchers studying Networking
* Developers/Sysadmins with a Network interest
* Engineers in more "Enterprise Network" roles
=== Agenda
For NetMcr we aim to include a few short (10-15min) presentations to
stimulate conversation, and to allow for a little clue distribution.
Confirmed presentations this month are:
** None yet. Your name here! Please step forward, we don't bite. **
The topics permissible are broad, and the audience is a delightful one,
as many-a previous speaker can testify.
We maintain a full write-up of each meeting on the website:

=== Important Notes
0. Everyone is welcome. We publish our formal Respect Policy, here:
https://www.netmcr.uk/respect-policy
1. Please do try to turn up promptly as we'll be hoping to start the
talks at the *beginning* of the evening, ca. 19:30.
2. The venue owners are happy for us to use their space gratis, with the
assumption that there will be some spend. Out of respect to our generous
hosts, please do not bring your own food or drink*.
* The cheese menu is almost as good as the beer menu.
3. Whilst we're clearly provisioning this as a social event with
alcohol, please do not feel as if you are expected to drink. There is a
range of non-alcoholic beverages available at the bar, also.
4. If you'll be under 18 at the time of attending, please let us know
before arrival. I hope attendance won't be an issue, sans alcohol, but
we will need to check this with the bar's manager before you attend.
We hope to see you there!
Tom & Thom.
