Hi the next London EC drinks will be on 13th June in Green Park. All the details are here: http://www.explorersconnect.com/diary/london/expeditions/-/ec-london-drinks-with-spike-reid-13th-june-15212/

Also we'd love to know your impressions of the different venues we've used in the past few months. We're trying to find a permanent home for EC London and it will be your home too, so tell us what you think! (and if you have any good ideas of informal, central venues that can seat 50-100 people let us know that too)

cheers Belinda
