I too took lots of photos (any that are any good will be online tomorrow
probably) and had a great evening in the pub with everyone followed by a
nice Chinese meal with Phoebe, Austin and Psychonaut (sorry, I can't
remember your real name).
As for next week, the sign on the door of the Montagu Pyke said it was
closed until the 6th (Saturday) so it should be open. Another option is
the Metropolitan Bar (aka the Met Bar), a large Weatherspoons above
(literally) Baker Street tube station. I've been to several successful
meets with a London Underground forum there, and there has never been any
issue with getting a seat.

James F. managed to pick the one pub in London that
was closed for
repairs. So we stuck an oblique sign on the window (which may still be
there for all I know) and adjourned to the Chandos (?) near Leicester
Square.
Attendees: James Forrester, me, Phoebe (User:Brassratgirl), Austin
Hair, User:Psychonaut, User:Morwen, Chris McKenna (User:Thryduulf),
Chris Sherlock (User:Ta bu shi da yu) and his wife (they're doing
Europe for their honeymoon) and Psychonaut's pet ferret. We got lots
of photos on James' [[Casio Exilim]] EX-S600 camera, which I found the
"get usable photos in really dim light" setting on. I did my best to
be loud, drunk and embarrassing, except I am not susceptible to
embarrassment. We had a marvellous time. Excellent stuff.
Next week: what day depends on your schedule, Jimbo. Monday or Tuesday
evening, and where are you staying? Not sure which pub either. Chandos
has nice beer but was bloody impossible to find a seat in ... might
see if the Montagu Pyke is open this time.
