It’s been a while since I organised a tweet-up, the last was a hastily organised one towards the end of last year (that’s not to say it wasn’t a good night, as the rather embarrassing video shot over a post tweet-up curry would attest) and several people felt it was time for another night out.

So it’s been arranged, with a little help from Jack Bremer and Tim Bush.

7pm onwards on Thursday 8 April at The Merchant on Battersea Rise.

It will be a fairly relaxed affair, just turn up, have a drink and meet other people from SW11 (and elsewhere). If you want to come along RSVP at the twtvite.

And a promise – I am not going to say a single political word at it!
