Sadly no photo-evidence remains of best attended new-members social in years! It might be due to my phone crashing at the shear number of Mensan's on the pictures - or maybe we miss-behaved when we strong-armed some tough blokes to gain an extra table for our party...at the party...mid-party..so here's a picture of a previous visit to Capital...

'Tis the stuff of dreams, pulling out all the stops to show new members, new almost members and their curious significant other's, plus one's or chaperones the true social character of this glorious chapter of ours. OK I suggested we also invite the philosophy SIG - the actual one, not the social SIG after some tequila and we are looking forward to that !!

That was the fun part, the sad part hinges around the subsequent closure of one of the stall wards of new members evenings, the ever popular dimly lit hideout where we felt welcome, were welcomed and served the best dishes - the timeless
