To fit around the Manchester Science Festival, out October social will take the date that would normally be the speaker event.

We're hoping to have a social on the 24th, because we like the taste of beer, which statistically means we're more likely to sleep with you on the first date.

As is traditional, we will be at the Church Inn in Hulme for the fourth Thursday of the month to chat, have a few beers, coffees, or whatever you prefer, and generally see who is running the place this time.

More free sandwiches!

No, that wasn't just to get your attention. The interim manager of The Church will once again be providing free sandwiches to accompany the friendly, stimulating and occasionally tipsy discussions which form the basis of our monthly social.

We'll be back at the Church Inn for this month's Skeptics in the Pub social (unless fire).

So that our April speaker event can mesh nicely with QED, we've moved our social for April to the second Thursday. Otherwise, it's the same old Skeptics in the Pub.

Despite losing our speaker event this month, the social is on as normal, with all the usual chat, beer, coffee and discounted food.

Good grub, strong coffee, reasonably-priced ale, a proper beer garden and lively, informed conversation. If that sounds like your scene then get yourself along to our monthly social.

There's a 10% student discount on food, extended to all SITP attendees.
