Dean's Birthday "Flash Mob" in Leamington Town Centre

Calling all first-timers, occasional meet-uppers and regulars - get yourself along and join me for a birthday Saturday night out. This event will be in place of the traditional monthly Friendly Faces Flash-Mob outing for November, but as it's a special one we'll take a different route this time and add a few new venues.

As usual, the format will be as follows..
Descend together upon Leamington's most popular bars one venue at a time, staying long enough for a drink or two before all moving on to the next one.
To the untrained eye this event looks like a pub-crawl, but rather than being about getting drunk as pub crawls are, this event instead focuses on the social aspects : getting out and meeting new people, mingling, and expanding your social circle.
If you're driving (or if beer isn't your thing) then not a problem as there is no pressure to buy drinks. If you prefer to stay alcohol-free and just enjoy the social opportunities, its fine - you wont be the only one to do so.
Bring a friend if you want to, but coming alone is the norm and every attendee is warmly welcomed.

The repeated changing of venues keeps the group rotating and helps encourage mingling. Typically by the end of the evening - each attendee will (1) have met most if not all of the other attendees present, (2) feel like they fit right in, (3) feel pretty chuffed about having chatted with some friendly like-minded people, and (4) be checking the diary to see if they can make the next months event too.

Big Win #1
Unlike the usual sit-down or stand-still-all-night meetups, this style of event will keep mixing us up as a group every time we change venue, and the mingling will happen automatically as we go with the flow.

Big Win #2
As a big group of people it will be great fun and a guaranteed laugh watching the bewildered faces of the non-meetup people in the bars as we all walk in the door together and fill the place, and then after an hour or so of meetup chatter - all leave together and empty it again!

As you may know there are several cool bars in central Leamington so we wont have to walk far between venues. We'll bounce between 3 and 4 venues throughout the evening, and stay close to the Parade in the town centre.

I'll keep our location-changes communicated as the evening progresses so you can join at any point along the route, but lateness is not recommended. Obviously if you're on time at the start you can take advantage of the introductions, and you'll have more flash-mob fun.
So to start we'll gather at 7:30pm and let the socialising commence.
Keep an eye out for the starting location as it may change nearer the time.

Here is the link to a YouTube video I recorded last year when we first started doing Flash-mobs, in which I explain things in a bit more detail.
