There must be an Occam's razor joke in here somewhere.
The office seems to be angling for lightweight training events, but that is
not what meetups have been, since long before there was a chapter. So WMUK

I have said my bit on pubs, contra a London meetup participant who clearly
thought the Queen Vic was the model, rather than the nearest Wetherspoons.
