Hi Everyone!
It's approaching the end of Summer and we thought it would be a great time for like-minded, quality-focused people to get together and to meet and talk with other testers.
No topic this month. Just good company, atmosphere, and refreshments. We can meet, talk and learn together, please feel free to join us.
We'll meet at Hop Cat in Westport. Please RSVP if you can. If I get a solid count in time I'll try to reserve us a dedicated space if not, we can just meet around the bar areas or grab some tables.
Upstairs there's Hop Cat if you enjoy browsing through massive lists of beer and pub fare or downstairs is Tiki Cat for a more relaxed feel with tropical inspired drinks.
