Looking to spend a Monday evening a week chatting with friendly redditors? Hammersmith Hang Out is for you.
- *So what happens at this meetup?**
- Each week this meet up is held in a pub - we all sit around a table and generally chat about anything we can think of.. that's pretty much all there is to it! There are usually a few who will get dinner from the Thai restaurant at the pub. We get people aged from 18 to in their 60s, but the majority are 24-40. You can turn up at any time, people usually start leaving between 9 and closing, there are nearly always plenty left at closing time (last orders - 11). Currently we are getting 15-20 people turning up.*
- *Do you talk about reddit and memes all evening?**
- No! reddit is hardly ever mentioned, there are no laptops in sight and we've had plenty of people who have not used reddit.*
- Of course - that is why it is posted on LSC each week, the meet up is very newbie friendly - we have people new to LSC join us regularly. If you're very very shy don't hesitate to message/text/call me ahead of the pub and let me know, I'll do what I can to get you chatting away with everyone as if you've been every week.*
- *What if I don't want alcohol?**
- No problem! The pub also serves various soft drinks, fruit juices, tea, coffee and water. We have non-drinkers often.*
Since after the above people still asked...
- *I'm ********* is it OK if I come along?**
- We have had men, women, transgender, British, foreign (even a northerner or two), gay, straight, drinkers, non-drinkers, smokers, non-smokers, religious and non-religious*
In fact, the only people who wouldn't be welcome are those under 18 or anyone who is not able to conduct themselves appropriately in an adult social situation.
Please note that this meetup occurs every **Monday****
- *Is this happening today?**
- Yes: Yes! It'll be today***
- No: Nope, try next Monday***
- *Aww, I missed this when is the next one?**
Monday**
- * we meet on public holidays, but if Monday falls on Christmas or New Years Day we'll likely skip those.
Initial meetup.
- *Location/Time:** Latymers, W6 8BS[1] / People often start turning up from 19:00ish but can be as early as 18:30. I'll get there for 19:00-19.30. There are usually a few people left when the pub closes - usually 23:00

Our tables are reserved, we start on the circular tables close to the entrance and we might spill over onto the table(s) nearby. There is no need to book a space/get a ticket.
The first table will either be outside or at the front to the right of the door. (also, there will be Reddit on the reserved signs And hopefully Snoo[2])

There's a (usually quiet) optional Whatsapp group for the meetup - message me via chat for an invite link. (whatsapp group is pretty much only me posting this link each week and trying to get people to actually respond.. So no benefit of being in it if you're not showing up).
